MB limo pic on BBC TV show

I was watching season 1 of Ballykissangel where at a funeral they had a MB limo so I snagged some images.

I was discussing cars like this with someone the other day. It is my understanding that if the car has six doors on it, and three bench seats, it is a funeral car and not a limo.

A limo has only four doors but is streached out.

I know this is a very fine point to make. My question is: does it really make any difference in what they are called?

I know there were 4 door lang versions, but the 6 door versions were a bit rare (IIRC)

Stretched Limo's are not really that common in the UK and for the most part, the only people that really use them are funeral homes. There are a few limo services around and they will probably use the same type of cars.

I don't think that either are built for a specific service. There is another sci-fi TV show on BBC that regularly features a stretched W126.

I don't think that's a stretched anything. There were 6-door w124 factory models, but like mentioned above, very rare.
