Looks a cracker to me and only 3 miles up the road from where I live although have never seen it.

Only 3 things gave me a puzzled look.

1/ Why is the centre headrest missing off the middle seat (it looks odd with the mounts there).

2/ On the middle doors, why is the electric window switch not in the correct place.

and finally,

3/ Why leave that untidy hole on the end of the middle seat where originally the seat release button used to be (why not just leave it but unused).

My only other niggle is the back, back seat looks odd to me as it doesn't have the two defined seats an original does, why not have used another genuine back seat ?

Easy to replace if it is missing, surely?

Too far to reach when seated, due to the relative positions of the middle seat and middle door. On the LWB, they simply moved the whole armrest back along the lengthened door, which looks tidier.

or a mounting for a horizontal grab rail across the back of the middle row to assist rear passengers?

For extra seating - middle seat probably similar to give two rows of three seats?

This Limousine was built with the central seat facing the rear hence the window switch and the holes on the corners on the seat.



This is how a the middle seat looks on a Limousine built facing forwards

Lots of discussion on other forums about this car It's an MK1 car facelifted and converted to a limo (not a factory built car) Also, if You have a look, rear lights are chinese stuff and alloy wheels are MG ZT ones. I personally don't like to have such a car parked in my drive.

Not sure the lights are Chinese, I had a set like these fitted to my launch car when Asda did in the rear o/s light they were sold as Lexus style lights and came in at £60 a pair less than a new Rover one. I got mine in 2001. They were Japanese.
But they may we’ll be the modern ones wouldn’t know unless I had it in my hand.

That's been loitering on Ebay for a while now. Originally listed at the start of December, relisted again.
