ah the granada with modded crapi bonnet & wings

I’ve actually seen that in the flesh and it’s very well done , made me wonder what a saloon with a Capri front end would look like. Although these days that’d be a £10000 and £5000 car destroyed , maybe should have done it when they were £50 cars…

Stick a Mk2 Capri front on a Mk4 Cortina and you have a Mk4 Cortina

Seen a few 4s and 5s with Capri lights

Alfa 6

I didn't think the proportions of the Alfa 6 could be made to look more ungainly, but I was WRONG!

Yes to any of those

Looks like the oily bits from a decent-size pickup under there...

Oh grim, that's only one step away from being carted off in the local authority bin wagon.

One funeral director I used to know had a Volvo 740 (20 years old ish at the time) with tinted windows for body collection, another bought a C class estate before he realised that it wasn't long enough for tall people and swapped it for a Galaxy. Another had a Mondeo estate which was all blacked out, and the firm local to me use a silver Vito van. I think they like to go incognito apart from at the funeral.  I agree that the pickup is pushing it a bit though.

The undertaker who handled by Dad's funeral used a Mondeo estate for collecting bodies, probably because it was fairly inconspicuous compared to a hearse.

A friend of mine looks after forklift trucks and various other bits of equipment, like bed movers and floor cleaners for a hospital amongst other places - when parking in the loading bay, he's been mistaken for a funeral home multiple times in his plain silver T6 Transporter.
