Mat’s only gone and bought another car, but this time it’s no ordinary car… It’s a 27-foot-long stretch limousine!
You see, Mat’s on a mission to find the best value car in the UK, and he thinks this Lincoln Town Car limousine might be just the car he’s been looking for!
It cost the grand total of only £2,700, and he’s going to put it through a series of challenges to see if it really offers the best value for money. Not only will he be reviewing the style and what it’s like to drive, but he’ll see if it’s possible to live with on a daily basis by driving through town, and of course, visiting a McDonald’s drive-thru.
But don't forget, this is Carwow, so you know he’ll also be putting the 4.6-litre V8 through its paces by launching it to 60mph and taking it for a drift! But will it offer great value for money? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Dear God, save the UK from islam😢😢😢
If that was me, I wouldn't try & flip the car in any traditional sense; sure, fix it up maybe spray it white or black then set up a business: sell the business, not the car.
From 10 cylinders to 10 seats😭

And soon went into 18 wheelers.

Well said, man. Well said
I saw this exact car on autotrader for £2000 3months ago
This is definitely the kind of video Mat WANTS to make. He was happy throughout the video.
I love that the auto companies stopped letting Mat review things.
these videos are usually on his personal channel mat watson cars
I was happy throughout the video, really enjoyed it
this is an old video, the channel has been reposting old videos lately
@@ReviewGuy01he mentioned his gt3rs which he hasn’t had for that long

Bro limos are cool tho
Rich people problems right?
Yes thanks for repeating the title of the video and adding bro to it. Very clever.
Dealer: What is the service history? Matt - "It has been serviced..that is the history" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A lot of people have been serviced in there...what do you mean?
Mat really went in there asked them "what's the longest thing you sell" without laughing, 8:45 and the dude's face lmao
The Limo with engine swap could be very interesting.
Guernsey 🇬🇬
I love how all business they were. They both legitimately helped him find the longest item and didn’t even question it. 😂
I got an Idea Matt: Take 4.6 V8 engine to those performance tuners who tune BMWs, NissannGTRs and Toyota Supras to 1000hp for 8000 pounds, let them put some beefy turbos or supercharger on it and do a couple of drag races of the limo vs Tesla/Porsche 911/Lambos or even McLaren
Manual swap is easy to do because many 4.6 engines came with manuals. Also supercharge and tune it. Make it a sleeper 😂
Lol just throwing words
or.. swap to an LS crate motor and supercharge it. This could be a real fixer-upper / sleeper 😁
That would literally rip the car apart have you seen the rust
Drifting a Limo is insane !!💀
Definitely. Did the Limo can do 1000bhp engine tune?
How so? I found drifting with truck more fun to do:)
It's actually kinda easy, especially if the limo is in better shape
I freaking love All of the Carwow videos but this was the most entertaining one I’ve seen! Felt like a variety show! The old ladies, the stripper comments, the chips, trying to get people in the car, the drifting, Sam being educational and proficient about the J-turn and how to restart the engine. The funny editing was also hilarious!
Anyone else get Top Gear flashbacks while watching this?
I got ❤ That's ammmmmmazingggggg
Duuuuuude 😂😂
Some say that this is the limo that the singer Lemar refused in favour of Mr. Clarkson's red machine 🤔
That was the first thing I thought at the beginning of the video. Although it's not as funny or entertaining. Don't get me wrong, I like carwow and Mat but this video is nowhere near the quality of the best days of TG.
Everything went well... until it didn’t.
Whats the time zone difference betwen the front and back ;)
Time differences is like night and day.
3-5 working days!
😂😂😂

Sam is one hell of a driver Like he's drifting a limo and smoothly too 🤯
Yeah Sam knows how drive and roast Matt too:)
There should be actual drifting championships in limos...
@@kadajawi2Lol no.
We need a separate channel just for Mat's shenanigans
Already exist, Mat Watson Cars
I'm amazed it didn't snap in half.... we booked one in the early 90's from Cambridge to London and back for a night out... I can still remember the sound of tortured metal everytime we went around a roundabout, the smell of petrol, the smell of burnt brakes and the best part was when one of the lads was getting seasick in the back and we swapped places, I put my foot through the floor and got a nice toasty foot massage from the drive shaft!!! No wonder the bastards wanted payment up front 😂😂
It probably had a bad or welded diff
That J-Turn was insane
No it broke car:):)
"I think I've driven over something, but I don't know what it was!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For future reference, there's a lever in the trunk to pull if the electric fuel door fails. Also, if the shifter is binding, first check to make sure the brake switch at the pedal is working, because it won't shift out of park if it's not. Alternatively, there are 2 T30 torx screws that can come loose in the shifter linkage underneath the dash near the steering column. Free and easy fix but the lack of threadlock on those bolts was less than ideal. Some of the electronics in these were overly ambitious but this limo will get someone wherever they want to go for a few hundred thousand miles more, or until it snaps in half.
This was just like the OG Top Gear!!! Awesome fun, more of that please
I was thinking the same thing. OG Top gear vibes 💯😂
This is by far the most fun video I've watched on this channel in the last 4 years of not missing a video. Please make more of these !!
I am agreeing with you, this is best video so far in the channel and had lot of fun
the irony here is Lincoln is now an SUV company
Few companies aren't SUV companies nowadays
Yup, I miss the big floating sedans they used to make
@@SombreroKnight They still make sedans (maybe like one) , it's the demand and supply.
@@AlzhinSoneven Cadillac also doesnt produce SUVs any longer.
@@SombreroKnightlike the Subaru Forester and Mercedes S Class?
Leave it in your back garden and use it as a shed, best use for it
Stupid idea
I thought its a nice idea.
Nah take the family on vacation
It would get great mileage as a shed. Mine's not a stretch, but usually gets over 20MPG in mixed driving.
Drove one of these from Las Vegas to Timbuktu, a 1988 model, 5’ stretch in white with red pleather interior. Paid $1500 for it. Good times. Great long distance road trip machines. Tons of load capacity, highway fuel econo not that bad compared to a truck or SUV carrying the same load since much better aero. Something is wrong with yours, shouldn’t be that bad, we got above 20mpg highway and low teens even when offroad. Can confirm, donuts are possible, although snow or gravel helps. Some of them also have LSD’s…. The tires are very heavily loaded and need very high air pressure. Watch out for sudden blowouts, especially a front tire at highway speed, very scary! Pretty good off-road at a pinch, ours had air shocks in the back to lift the rear, and they usually have uprated axles, suspension and trans. Add some front spring spacers, a skid plate to protect the trans cooler/radiator/sump, and go hit the sand dunes in the Sahara, or wherewhere. Cheap to fix and surprising robust, even the interiors hold up well to offroad abuse depending on who the “coachbuilder” was. Electrical can be a nightmare especially if they’ve been molested. Pay someone to clean the interior, all kinds of horrors are lurking under those seats….
Always thought the tires should be a lot bigger than the normal Town car to all the extra weight!
Vids like this that break up some of the usual drag races, sport cars, ect. Is such a nice change of pace at times.
OMG, editors having fun lately, love it! 😂❤ And whoever sorted out this route, great work! 😅
Porsche & Lincoln Guy. 🤣🤣🤣 Don't forget to say Lincoln! (That's your Flex) 🤣🤣🤣
This was such a funny video, I couldn't stop laughing when Matt was trying to pick up strangers. I do prefer these types of videos over car comparisons.
I drove limo for 10 years, 2001 - 2011 was the most interesting job I ever had :)
It's one shitty industry. Good for you for keeping it positive.
@@Bill_v1The guy that owned the company had 30 cars and if they were not in use he allowed us to use them (I think that's why he paid so little). So I had a side gig driving some people about for extra cash. I also used to drive folks home from bars and charge them a little less than a taxi.. I got to meet some cool people.
Omg hands down one of my most fav vid on this channel 🙌🏻 on par with all those F1 and Nevera vids. I was laughing throughout the drifting and J-turn section 😂😂

We had that 4.6 in our used Crown Vic police interceptor (bought it just for the sticker). Got it up to 135mph but I've always been amazed how underpowered it was in retrospect.
Just swap the heads from a new edge Mustang GT. Easy 40 hp gain. Also a manual 5 speed swap helps.
This needed Yianni in the back.
Saying “Young Matthew” lmao
Man I needed the laughs. Thank you Matt and team. 😂 33:10 😅
mat really is a one-man top gear team. love the entertainment keet it up carwow!
amazing upgrade on the r8 please review more used cars
Fair play to the dealer, what a good sport
This video is one the most interesting car reviews I've ever seen and we need more of this!! Not just all the wildest coolest newest tech show us more weird outliers in the used car world and then THRASH them to the limit😂😂😂 10/10 video Matt

So fun to see someone enjoying a slightly shorter version of my car! Sidenote; There is an emergency fuel door release lever inside of the trunk on the driver side for the event that the driver door release button fails!

Do more videos of weird cars like this and we'll have Top Gear reborn. Maybe get Matt to create a car from scratch 😂
Just think, if you put 5k into that, you'd have a $3700 car!
That was one of the greatest videos Mat. Do similar videos if possible !!! Love that !!🔝
Love you guys! You both are so nice and happy together” I love what are you doing… keep going 🔥
Ayo! They're not actually g**!
Imagine your uber turning up in that lol "Just go around the block a few extra times mate my lap dance isn't finished"
Real top gear vibes from this vid mat. You should definitely keep these types of videos up 👌🏼
Great video ahaha. Definitely didn't expect that drifting from Sam and sick J turn from Mat.
This is wht i always wanted to see thnk u matt ❤
The editing is so on point. It's hilarious 🤣
mat, ive seen all your content, but this silly video its the best ive seen ! thanks so much ! i felt it was like a day with you
This is really like old top gear
That was so entertaining to watch. I give this video a 5 out of 5 stars.
This was brilliant and so refreshing. It’s actually done me a world of good. 💙 Keep up the awesome work guys.
Fix the suspension and the driveline then tune the engine to maybe get another 150 ponnies then do a drag race with whatever you choose. Great stuff!!!
this dude has the best job in the world! flipping brilliant!

Loved this video! Hope to see more 'interesting' cars with this style video!

Six of us from our office in East Yorkshire had to travel to a hotel somewhere west of Heathrow for our long service awards. We hired one of these for the day, no messing with a train journey and swapping trains, it was door to door, really comfy, came with a chauffeur and cheaper than buying 6 rail tickets. It was so good we hired it again another year for other staff to travel in.
THE best video on this channel so far. Laughed half the time, great to see how Mat enjoyed shooting this.
Now that Matt drove an extended town car he needs to find a Ford Excursion and try to drive it around for a day.
Matt is a character !!!!!😂😂
I literally enjoyed this video the most💜
I been wanting a Lincoln Town Car or a Mercury Grand Marquis for a while. But because of youtube influencers the prices are now stupid high. I'm seriously considering a limo version because they have not been affected by the hype bubble like the other cars have.
