Stretched Limo Transit
by cmeonthemove » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:55 pm
Just been watching an old series of Top Gear on tape and saw the episode where they made stretched limos. Got me thinking, has anyone ever done a stretched limo with a Transit? I mean how hard can it be?
Has anyone ever seen one
Or could I pioneer this idea?

1 way would be to get 2 long cubes cut 1 off behind small panel and 2nd in front of side loading door, slide some box section into chassis rails and weld it back together, another idea i thought of was a 8 wheeler mk2 tipper with twin steer and twin drive. with the long bonnet would get 1 monster engine in.
mk5 100lwb semi high roof, soon to be turbo!!-

There was a stretched Mk1 Transit at Stamford Hill in London.
The owner also had a Transit Trailer!
The van was built from 3 Transits...
It also had a VW LT roof and an NSU RO80 front grafted on.
Oh...and a mid-mounted V8 engine...
It looked like a Semi-high roof Mk3 Ex-LWB......But............
This was in 1980
