Does anyone knowwhere i would be able to buy a hearse in Ireland,in any condition,hopefully not too expensive.

Squirrel · 27-09-2005 7:47pm

What kind, the usual E-Class/Granada type or the classic Daimler type?

junkyard · 27-09-2005 7:48pm

Is it a vintage hearse or just one from the 70's or 80's?

Can hearses use Bus lanes?
After all they are carrying a fare paying passenger.

junkyard · 27-09-2005 8:37pm

That particular passenger isn't paying.

Its not exactly a hot hatchback though is it, unless your on your way to the crematorium!!

Our man in Havana · 28-09-2005 12:49am

Make sure that it still has its original body.

Squirrel · 28-09-2005 7:12am

Enough with the puns, it's a very grave matter

el tel · 28-09-2005 8:39am

hearses are really popular- people are dying to get a ride them.

spockety · 28-09-2005 8:43am

Well at least you'll get the (last) rite of your life..

junkyard · 28-09-2005 8:43am

I have one but the body needs a bit of attention.

el tel · 28-09-2005 8:58am

what size is the ash tray?

Ann Elk · 28-09-2005 9:07am

They're not very fast and often end up getting 'undertaken' on the inside

prospect · 28-09-2005 9:27am

Mods, this thread is has turned corny and terrible...

I think you should bury it asap

Turner · 28-09-2005 9:45am

Yah its time to bury it alright.

junkyard · 28-09-2005 10:45am

Undertakers... the last men to let you down.

Robbo · 28-09-2005 11:42am

I've heard the back end is quite stiff in them but you can cure this by unshuffling the mortal coils.

I'll get me coat...

im not quite sure there was one i saw online that i quite like ,it was supposed to be the most "gothic" looking of all the hearses.

junkyard · 28-09-2005 8:11pm

I have three vintage hearses (sorry not for sale) all coachbuilt from new 50's to late 60's in my experience with them any thing fancy makes big money, especially American ones. A lot of home made rubbish ( made in some guys garden shed not built by a recognised coachbuilder) around most of these are out of proportion and just look wrong. There are some good hearse sites online if you want to check them out , Grim rides is one and I think there is also an English hearse register.

alanlouthzzr · 28-09-2005 10:02pm

See what you think of these hearses...was this what you had in mind!?!?!?!

The only pun that actually made me laugh. Makes my “hearses for curses” work in progress look very weak now.

Do you by any chance think htat a hearse would by good for just general everyday use?

Do you mean general everyday use as in hearse general everyday use or car general everyday use?

junkyard · 03-10-2005 7:15pm

I don't think its a great idea to be honest. Sure it might be great fun but you would want to be mechanically minded, have loads of money for fuel and parts, also I think you will draw unwanted attention from the Gardai.....but thats just my opinion.

A few hearse photos gothic style and a nice e-type hearse!

christophicus · 04-10-2005 6:26pm

I mean just normal car every day use,i read that the parts are ment to last for absoltely ages cause they are for commercial use.

Hagar · 04-10-2005 6:54pm

At least you shouldn't get any penalty points for speeding...;)
