There was a prototype estate but I di not know where it is now - picture in James Taylor books.
Not sure what you mean by the limo - do mean the optional centre divider/partition fitted to Mk1 saloons with bench front seat (again see James Taylor book) or the so called Van den Plas ones - see earlier.
A car with divider was on Ebay recently

There was talk a couple of years ago about a slightly stretched P5 being raced but this was probably a one off. P5s that were chauffer driven tended to just have a glass partition if they wanted to be limo like. There was a black 3litre for sale in the club for ages with one.

There were pictures in Take Five many years ago of a banger-raced 3 litre limo. It appeared to have had about three feet added to its length. Following the banger race, it was back to its factory specification length again !
The banger race was for limos only and there were all kinds of weird things; An Austin/Morris 1800 ('Land Crab') limo, a Humber Hawk, a Silver Cloud, all sorts.
Pressed Steel Fisher made the 3 litre Estate speculatively, but Rover weren't impressed and it never went into production.
