Cool Spotted - XR6 Stretch Limo

Yesterday was driving back home and spotted a XR6 Stretch Limo Sydney bound between Waterfall & Heathcote. Was wondering what company it was? First glance and though Wowww nice, its a first sighting for me.

for heaven sake... you'd think I'd have a camera ready as I was driving in the opposite direction. this was totally unexpected. surely other ford fans may have seen this vehicle before somewhere??.

my question is either where it comes from or which company it belongs to.

The side looks too high. It needs scalloping done to it like the Mondeo and (99% likely) Falcon...
