    www.jayohrberg.com/Limousine

    I found the website to know if this car still exists. It was for sale last summer but was completely dismantled so its no longer in the record books.

    I was surprised to find out that the creator of this car also created a lot of the tv cars that we have become accustomed to, like General Lee's car amongst others.

    Still though, its not road legal so what use is it???

    No somewhere in england
    the pic was taken in '91/'92
    the car was part of an english circus
    the owner was gerry cottle

    at the time it was the longest car in the world and was pictured in the guinness book of records.
    but as a publicity stunt it turned out to be a bit of a white elephant (see P.T. Barnum)
    it was sold in '94 to someone in switzerland

    I don't know what happened to after that
