Default Two 740 Limousine's for sale

Hi all. I browse the England eBay some times, and I just found two 740 Volvo Limousine's for sale!

This is my first time even hearing about Volvo manufacturing limo's!

Does anyone here have a volvo limo? Was this 740 limo line a limited production? Only made for companies who requested them, or was there a legit production of these, and they are just hard to find?

This is making me want to start a jitney service in Bermuda w/ these right hand drives!

Yeah I have seen these these before. not sure the story behind them, but I think that the peoplewho owned the cars did that.
These have been for sale for a while now.

They look likeColeman Milne conversions.

This company will take virtually any make/model of car and convert it into a limousine. They are used for civic duties by local government bodies; weddings; funerals and chauffeur driven private hire work.

This link takes you to the parent company where you can see the full, currentrange of vehicles produced:

http://www.coleman-milne.co.uk/

Do a Google search on Coleman Milne to find some of their earlier work.

Edit:
but I think that the peoplewho owned the cars did that
In the UK these conversions have to be done by recognised vehicle builders to stop 'Joe Public' cutting and shutting a car and ending up with a dangerous vehicle on the roads.

I have seen about 4 740 Limo's here in Florida. There was a 960 Limo for sale not long ago down in Ft Meyers Florida. I have also seen some pictures of the S80 in a Limo.

Sorry... I meant to say that the ownershad it done at their own expense, and they didn't come from Volvo that way.

Thanks for checking my mistake and thanks for the new info.
