What's the strangest load you've carried in your Estate?

[abecketts]

Managed yesterday to almost fit 3 225 litre oak barrels with the seats down, i'd guess that if I had a W210 as opposed to a W124 all 3 would have fitted no problem.

3 tonne of rock (ooops)

 

[vincenz]

5 prototype bonnets worth about £40k each, it was in a Discovery Four though!

Every component from a 1971 Citroen 2CV van that could be unbolted, including the engine, gearbox, doors and wings. The body shell shell, sitting on its chassis and axles, was on the trailer behind the car.

A Coffin complete with Dead Body, A relative of a friend passed away in Kent and the Undertakers were talking about lots of money and permits to bring the body back to South Wales --- we did it for the price of a tank of petrol found out after totaly illegally, -- you do apparently need permits to move a body through counties.

I think we have a winner....

I was going to post something but it just seems tame after that!

Not an MB Estate.....but I managed to squeeze an AMG 5.0 Quad Cam V8 engine into the back of a A Class with the seats removed....very tight but it went in and when I turned up at the engine rebuilders they couldn't believe it!

especially when you said you wanted it working in the A class

great delivery vehicles, i've carried 60 cases of wine once, not a winner, moving a body does top things.

A friend got the engine out of a 560SEL , plus loads of other bits into his 124 estate .

I've had all three of mine loaded up with all manner of things over the years , sometimes full to the roof , but nothing remarkable .

Why a hearse got to be an E-class estate and not a Beemer 5 Estate or even look like the real thing a Honda Accord Estate? Used to be Granada estate.

Do Merc really make them or it modified by coachwork?

I agree I think we have the winner right here!

 

[Simba]

If you have a body to move,how about something like this ?


A 600 Grosser hearse.

Depart in style.
