Our Transport

Hector the hearse is a 1990 Mercedes E220 and with only 56,000 miles on the clock and he is like new. He started his life as an estate car and was shipped directly from the production line to Ireland where Duffy carried out a hearse conversion. Hector originally worked for a prestige funeral director until about six years ago when he was sold to a funeral hire company, where he continued to transport the dead. Hector’s new life is now attending Paradox events trying to collect evidence of the afterlife.

Hector was collected from Glasgow in August 2010 and then he travelled to Livingston to get pimped up. During the same weekend he went out and was sized up for a coffin minus the body. Bert is the head in the rear window, he was donated to Paradox by a site we visited.

Hector is a dream to drive. When you sit back in the leather seats, wind down the window and pump out the tunes you forget that you are cruising in a hearse, but you are then reminded of this as people stare in misbelief. At high speed (no more that 70 mph) a howl surrounds the car as the wind rushed through the chrome roof cross members as if we are being surrounded by demons. Parking is an issue due to his length but this turns into an advantage when you need a sleep after a long drive. If you want a reliable low mileage prestige vehicle which attracts attention why not join us and get a hearse.

So if you see Hector and Bert cruising about Scotland give them a wave or sound your horn, but don’t come to close in case the demons get ya.
