Custom hearse spotted in Whitby

[mackie1]

Anyone know what it might be based on and what this engine is:

Think the Rolls Royce badge on the rocker cover might to a hint to the origin of the engine

AskMID.com has the plate listed as an FX4 which I believe is a London taxi.

Looks like it might be the case looking at it.

Is there a glass lid on the box in the back?

4 litre out of the VdeP Princess? http://www.co-oc.org/VP4R.html

It was Goth weekend there this weekend. Lots of young ladies dressed in black with short skirts and fishnets.

I would imagine the car was linked to that event.

With original black cab wheels, by the looks of it.

Hehe, I'm well aware of the Whitby Goth Weekend. I used to go

So far I've pieced together that it's probably a horse drawn body mounted on a TX4 chassis with most likely the engine from a Vanden Plas Princess 4-litre R. Not sure where the cab has come from though.

Also seen by a friend (hence the horse drawn thoughts):

hmmm, wouldn't kick it out of bed for crumbs, but you just know it's got a serious case of the mental and would want at least 15 cats and some sort of reptile in the house.
