flat4alfa Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't know quite what this was made for but I like it. Estate? Hearse? Custom build?DSC_0020_zpse6d92d1a by RS, on Flickr From page 7: this one was a '60, different tail lights mate, plus it was a 2-door + hatch.I think Shaun Gladwell (?) from the PA owners club had something to do with it. Was a fair few years ago now, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binhoker668 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 i was keeping it low key, but as this thread has appeared.... this beauty is now in my possession - currently being recommissioned. Nice! Did this live outside Bradford years ago? Brighouse or somewhere like that? I remember seeing an identical one regularly years ago - early 2000s...

greengartside Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wow. The sound of the 1256cc rattling away as it pulls you up to the crematorium. Wonderful.

sierraman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Talk about rubbing the deceased face into it. Their final journey in a car with a 7 year warranty.Whenever you hear anyones bought a Kia, all they'll tell you about is the 7 year warranty. It must be the only redeeming subject they know there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If I get buried in a Kia I'll turn in my grave. I'd come back to life, kick the grim reaper in the nuts, 'Fuck you, I'm not going until someone sorts out some proper transport - I'm not even prepared to be seen dead in that'.

AMC Rebel Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Imagine having your last journey in a fucking Vectra Estate.Actually I think it would be pretty fitting - sums up my life in many ways - pretty average - and I don't mean that in a self-pitying or self-deprecating way - we can't all be fucking Elvis. goosey, Rab, robinmasters and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Apollo 13 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 There's nothing classier than a van based hearse. download (2).jpg The FX4 with a smokey 2.2 diesel would be another fine way to depart. 2724253647_b6f6d54bbf.jpg I wonder if anyone on this forum knows about CGO 197H's fate? It was our very first hearse 30 odd years ago. I'd love to know whether it's still doing the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know whether it's still doing the rounds.It might be worth checking with the classic hearse register as they do know an awful lot about hearses and the fate of some of them if they have been raced.

Chris2cv Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Not strictly base model, but probably the strangest hearse that I've ever seen! Even had several mannequins inside! bunglebus, GrumpiusMaximus, Shite Ron and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many older American ambulances were made by the same bodybuilders as hearses, in some rural areas it was common to use the same vehicle for both purposes! martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
