Spotted this 800 limo
Hi guys
In Kirkcaldy, where I live, I spotted this parked up in a public car park near my dads shop. It's the first time I've seen it there. I was passing by and it caught the corner of my eye. So I reversed back and went to have a quick look at it.
It looks like it's been sat there for perhaps a few months. Couple of the tyres were flat and there's tree sap and debris on the car. One of the window has been left slightly open.
I'm sure I seen this car once on the road within the last 12 months at my local Asda so I don't think it's been off the road for too long.
I wonder what the owner plans to do with it. It would be a shame to see it get broken or scrapped.
Anyone here interested?
I didn't have a pen and paper with me otherwise I would of left a note and pointed them towards this club.
Just thought I'd post this here in case it can be rescued.
Many thanks.

KV6 with a non airbag dash? Is that possible or have the converters binned the airbags?

Strictly speaking it is an 827.vito wrote:It's an 825 .....................
Though it'll be a 2.5 as you said. A lot of limos were like that for some reason?
Maybe a dvla issue?

Re: Spotted this 800 limo
Is there more of these limos in existence? Anyone know who owns it? Someone want to rescue it?

Re: Spotted this 800 limo
Definitely an 825 - look at the auto gear shift, it has the Sport and Winter buttons separately from the gearstick.
I've often wondered the non-airbag thing but i suppose they reason funeral cortege vehicles don't travel fast enough to deploy an airbag in the event of an accident!
That said, while travelling at 90mph on the A11 southbound, i was undertaken by an X-type funeral limo, complete with 6 pall bearers like i was stood still.
Going back to the lack of airbag, on a technical note, it could be that lengthening the chassis introduces flex in it that would deploy the airbags due to the sensors mounted on the chassis rails. Just a thought.

If anyone is interested, I can try and make some enquiries and see if I can find out who the owner is?

On the chassis rails in the engine bay, just for'ad of the bulkhead, one each side. Yellow boxes with yellow flexi-conduit over the connecting cables.
Personally i think they should be deposited in the round metal filing cabinet more commonly known as the bin!
