£25,000 Ford Cardinal is up for sale

A 1983 Ford Cardinal hearse featured on MTV show Pimp My Ride has been put up for sale. The slightly grim luxury motor has more than £25,000 worth of gadgets inside it, including a back seat cinema. Jamie Rotherham, of Cornwall, bought the hearse for £500 to take his band Kernuyck to gigs. The band has now outgrown the hearse and have upgraded to a larger van to fit their equipment in. Jamie said:

“They completely rebuilt it, resprayed it and inside they put a racing steering wheel, leather interior, sound system and cinema. When we started the band the car was a bit different and perfect for transporting all the gear to gigs as we couldn’t afford a van.

“We have bought a van since then and it is much more practical. It will be a real shame to see it go but it would be much better in a motor museum.”

The hearse has been put up for sale for £6,500.
