That mirror finish tint makes it look like a truckman top rather than a hearse

I have a sneaking suspicion this is one I was after a few years ago but it was unregistered and the seller was a nightmare. It would make a nice camper though.

I really should stay away from hearses as they always cost me way too much money and are a nightmare to sell on.

After 2 months I got the custom cushions arrived today. They are a bit firm but I am glad I went for the thinner foam as any thicker and there would be no headroom at all.

Bloody hell I hadn't realised it had been 6 months since I last worked on the hearse. It is now very close to finished just a few bits to tidy up and a bit of testing. I am testing the fridge this week to see if it can keep the temp down close to zero for a few days with just the leisure battery and solar panel. Only 3 weeks to go until Le Mans and it gets a proper test. I was given a nice bottle of grey goose vodka so will pop that on the optics for the bar.

It'd have to be a Sherpa or Freight-Rover for me, but otherwise yes.
