hearses

Has anyone ever investigated decomissioned hearses for small, low Austin 7 transport? Would any of them be wide enough with a few mods? Phenomenal value...

Jon = don't know of any Down Under.  But it reminds me of a keen A7 man I know who lives in New Zealand.  He built an Austin 7 hearse - not sure if he's put it to proper use yet.  If I can find a photo I'll ask Ruairidh if he will be so kind to put it up on the Forum.  Watch this space.   Cheers,  Bill in Oz

Cor, perhaps funeral traditions are different in Bristol. How does a 24 valve 2.9 litre Cosworth engine cope with extended travelling at walking pace?  Maybe it's actually "Off we go lads, last one to the graveside buys the first round!"

Nothing to do with Patti Smith then...

It doesn't look like there's enough width between the rear arches to accomodate a Seven.

An ex colleague of mine left £100 in his will to the hearse driver on condition that they exceeded 100mph on his last journey.

One of our "bucket list" projects is to build an A7 hearse.

Leave it a year or two, Martin. I’m not ready yet.

A friend of fathers in North wasles spent 30 years restoring a stunning original vintage Wolseley hearse. The body was originally horse drawn. 

No idea what happened to it. The gent must be long dead by now
