I'd go for that. It epitomises tastelessness.

Currently, computer says no.

Shame. Currently I'm considering a 110inch Santana clone of the Series
III LWB Safari.

Interesting. Not seen those before. Going to point that link out to my
dad, they're after somxe 4x4 thing for the farm out in Greece. I'm
scouring ebay for a LPG Jeep type thing at the momemt for myself.

I reckon an XM would make a good hearse. Surely that's been done in
France though.

There already several specialist long wheel base Landrover hearses

about.

Same as the sidecar ones, someone must have wanted one, then others have
gone for it.

A good buy I think. It's got the Iveco 2.8 common rail diseasel from the
Pug/Fiat Ducato, the technology is simple, many parts are from a Passat.
The parabolic leaf springs are supposedly as good as the coils fitted to
later Defenders. It's basic, but not that basic since it has aircon
which is essential in Greece and Italy. Since it's Spanish there are
LHD's available. The load bed is massive and it can carry 900kg payloads
and tow 3.5tonnes.

There was a guy at one of the Chelsea cruises I went to earlier this year
who was an undertaker from Ramsgate, he had a early 50's Chevy P/U in bright
red with a shiny teak bed, he was planning on starting to offer that for
funerals.
