Wilcox Limousines is a British funeral coachbuilder established in 1948 by William and May Wilcox[1] constructing hearses, limousines, private ambulances, removal vans and hearsettes based on Jaguar[2][3], Vauxhall[4], Volvo[5] and Ford vehicles. The business employs over 150 people in three locations in Great Britain and is still owned and operated by the Wilcox family.[6] Wilcox Limousines has supplied vehicles for use by the British Royal Family as well as for state funerals around the world.[7]
Key facts[edit]
In 1992 Wilcox won a contract to convert Jaguar XJs.[8] In 2015, Wilcox Limousines built the world's fastest limousine. The vehicle was based on a Jaguar XJR with a 5.0 liter V8 550 supercharged petrol engine capable of achieving 170mph,[9] and in 2017, Wilcox Limousines became a Jaguar-Authorised Converter.[10]
