Default S-Type limo

I just thought, that's probably not something many people have seen before...

There are - not surprisingly - stretched limo versions of Jaguars out there, incl. S-Type Limos and there is even a STR limo for hire on hourly basis in Bulgaria.
That is already odd enough, but think, this one trumps them in regards of "WTF"-effect, even though I would not want to own it (unless I were to get it very cheap...





I found them there:

That thing is just begging for a paint job similar to the one that John Lennon did to his "tea caddy" Rolls.

At least the interior is tastefully decorated in an understated manner:

Looks like a Tokyo "Love Hotel"...

Karl, I did not post the interior pictures on purpose - the exterior was bad enough...

and @ S-Type Owner: I looked up the pix of the John Lennon Rolls... Looks like there are still ways to make that S-Type above look worse and to match the exterior to the interior...
But respraying it in HGZ Jaguar racing green metallic would definitely improve the "situation"...

Btw.: I like the "hanging lanterns of Babylon" on the 4 corners - it has a touch of Tin Lizzy - or better: This one:

Actually, the side view of the elevated roof line reminded me of a Gypsy Wagon, or Romani Vardo. Lennon's Rolls re-paint was supposed to be a Romani style motif; it was originally black. The Tokyo "Love Hotel" comparison stands...

(Assuming it’s a 2002 V6) That duratec must get one heck of a work out. Ford baby…Ford.

A stretched Jaguar S-Type limo and even an STR limo for hire in Bulgaria? That's definitely not something you see every day. It must be a real head-turner on the streets.

I remember when I was younger, I used to see these kinds of unique limos in movies and TV shows, but I never thought they actually existed in real life. It's fascinating how people can transform regular cars into these extravagant, eye-catching vehicles. If you're into unique limos, you might want to check out Limo LA. They seem to have some interesting options that could match the "WTF" effect you're looking for.

Stretched limo versions of Jaguars, including the S-Type, are indeed uncommon sights. The idea of a Jaguar S-Type limo may evoke a sense of novelty, but its practicality and appeal may be limited. While it may attract attention for its uniqueness, owning one might not be everyone's cup of tea unless acquired at a bargain.

No accounting for taste. Or perhaps lack thereof. Just my humble 0.02¢ opinion...

How often do you see one of those cruising around, right? As for practicality, well, I guess it depends on your perspective. Sure, it might not be the most sensible choice for everyday use, but imagine the statement it makes pulling up to a special event or even just cruising down Ocean Drive.

As I can see this thread - which I started - still attracts interest. I just asked my wife, if she still remembers the pictures of the S-Type up there in my initial post.
She looked at the screen and then immediately looked away from she screen. She loves her S-Type, and this modification shown above is for her the stuff of nightmares...
Kind of like a horror movie....

I rather think that riding in such a travesty would make one feel like (if not look like) an idiot.

That vehicle gives all life forms a bad name.

Speaking of which, if you're ever in Miami and want to add a touch of luxury to your travel plans, you should totally check out Miami Airport Limo Service. I've heard they offer some top-notch rides, and what better way to arrive in style, right? It's Miami—we're all about that glam life here!

That thing is obviously a Rorschach test.
