Title: Omega hearse on ebay
Post by: mantahatch on 12 April 2008, 22:52:44
Dunno if it is me, but for a 1996 Omega hearse with hub caps, I find this expensive. I mean there can't be that many people queing to buy one of these can there ?......... Maybe goths.

As a comparison one of the funeral companies my Dad works at has recently shelled £90 000 for one of these :- (http://www.nuk.com/images/hearse/hearse_3door_500.jpg)

I'd suggest buying it for the forum - we all get old, but it is only a 4 pot :(

"guess who i had in the back last week..." ;D

sometimes they do end up with "plod" hubcaps on the old ones, i passed a stretch saloon near home today, theres 2 places that customise them near me, one does the omegas and whatever replaced them, the other does the ford scorpios

I'vegot to disagree. If you want your final journey 'in style' it'd have to be in a Daimler DS420 hearse.

Don`t get carried away with the bidding boys!  ;D

If it seems cheap might have a head casket problem!   ::)

Is so, you`ll need a good garage to undertake repairs.   :y

Thanks, she has lost a long battle against a rare cancer.
She was doing very well in keeping her spirits up.

Unfortunately, depsite several tries of differnt chemo, they couldnt beat it.

About a month ago, they gave her weeks to live, which proved accurate and she faded away very quickly.

Tis a very sad time.
