I used to deliver the mail to a company in Basingstoke, Hants, who made stretch limos. They also specialised in Range Rover conversions for rich oil sheiks. They were converted for safari hunting, with twin rear axles, stretched bodies, gun racks, full length roll back sunroofs, seats that raised up through the roof on hydraulics for game spotting/shooting etc.
Never seen a limo'd Rangie though.
In a service station on the A15 in Lincolnshire today.
And yes, I do think stretch limos are possibly the tackiest vehicles on the road!  Tongue

Taz & I came across these in a service station on the M1 last weekend.
A trio of Citroens. They were en route to a local stately home for an Italian car day. Yeah, I know Citroens are French, but this model came with Masseratti power. Lots of nice design features. I like the headlights & number plate behind a curved glass screen.

They remind me of Ed Straker's car in the old UFO TV series.
