101 Hearse Wanted

Sorry if you see this x-posted, time is short.
Also, if you think of anywhere that I haven't posted it, please feel
free to repost.

A 101 Club member has just called me with an odd but fitting request.

Some may have heard that Dave Parker died recently, unexpected, on his
neighbours driveway at 8am - sudden heart attack, aged 58 (if you've
got to go, this is the way I guess)...

Anyway, our member wants to use a 101 for the hearse. A minter would
be superb, but Dave wasn't too bothered about 'concourse' condition
Landies, so any (roadworthy) condition 101 would be fine, probably a
GS for ease I'd have said, though.

The funeral is at Emneth, Nr Wisbech (sp?) in West Norfolk (PE14
postcode). No date has been set yet, but it'll be soonish.

If you'd like the honour of sending a true landie enthusiast off in
style, in the back of your 101, please can you contact Charles Morgan
directly on 01600 890 128 - he would use his own but he lives a _long_
way away.

Dont know if its any use, but i saw this in LOI a while ago...

Sorry to hear of your news.

Mark.

How about a 101 towing a gun carriage ala Military funerals?

How about just a 101 GS - it was good enough for Mountbatten...

And an old farm cart was good enough for William Morris, when I have to go I
will not mind being strapped to the roofrack of a suitably scruffy series

Still no vehicle ?
If no-one else will help, I could have Bob on the road by Thursday.
