That's cool, I saw that on autotrader a few weeks ago.  Does it not have some weird issue with the back window/roof.

 

He did a video call with me, i was a bit concerned about that, but apparently not rusty but the vinyl roof is flapping about. it was about 3k, then 1500 quid, and then i took the bait at £895. This after him spending 10k on it.

Apparently he bought it off a dodgy Greek character in the East end.

Get the pritt-stick out to glue it back down . 
I wonder if it was an airport transfer car?  I think it was quite common to have lower spec stretched cars to shuffle folk between terminals .

I was wondering that, you see way more town car stretches than these, and these are just unglamourous work wagons.

Why does this exist lol. I guess someone used it as airport shuttle, why it is in the UK is anybody's guess though. At under 900 quid it's a total bargain and epic purchase. No clue how anyone can spend 10 grand on a crown Vic either, even with 3k of bodywork. Literally everything is dirt cheap for them.

Why does the seller describe it as a mini limo?

 

Cos you can fit several Mini's in there ?

[camryv6]

This would be great for a banger rally to Benidorm !!!

Just don't think about the fuel costs until it is too late

[Datsuncog]

You'll need an outfit to go with this.

Should fit the bill, no?

[AnthonyG]

‘Not ULEZ exempt’ lol.

Sadiq Khan should be paying HMC £800 just to keep it out of London!

Absolutely epic. 

[somewhatfoolish]

A stretch crown vic with velour for 900 quid. Chod speed. 

[Volksy]

Amazing!

[Andyrew]

This has to be the same one that a kwality used car dealer had locally for years on the court. 

895 for anything yank seems silly cheap.

A car dealer in dunstable at the end of frenches avenue.  Think the had it up for 2 or 4 grand at first then it sat for ages outside the cash and carry next door.

Sorted our Soho apartment.

Given when I picked up the GSA from @HMC it had an odd clunk from the back end ( which turned out to be an empty champagne bottle rolling about), I suspect he already has such threads🤣

I’d imagine there might be a chance to buy it before next year.

Ive figured out its about 6.2 metres long more or less- a bit longer than an extended wheelbase phantomand about the length of a medium wheelbase new sprinter. 

This posed a few challenges in finding, remotely, parking in london.

In the end i decided to have it overnight in q park park lane, which is a short walk away and usually has a variety of interesting vehicles in ( although it will probably be the only stretched crown vic) im hoping for some eccentric stuff to spot, amongst teslas, ferrari , etc. Bit like a car show without the people.

En route to london for a rendez-vous * with a film producer, to buy his ropey limo

* i will not strap a camera to the front of the crown vic and drive at high speed around soho, i promise.
