Looks like another stretch, probably a mourners car.

 Those door handles look very SAAB-esque

 You say sedan but I'm sure this is a stretched limousine version (cars like this are used as mourners cars in the UK funeral business) because this series has used such cars before for shots of characters riding in the back seat of cars (more room for a camera crew). Notice the No Smoking sticker on the pillar.

 Leasing cars usually have such signs, I think it's a Sedan with removed front seats to make filming easier. I don't think there is a Stretched version of SAAB 9-5?

 Sure - as Kowalski suggested: Coleman Milne made a stretched version of the 9-5.

 Do you have a picture of one? It would be interesting to see.

Edit: Ok I found one :p Link to "www.hearses.co.uk"

 With a 2.3 litre-engine, it certainly isn't over-powered... :whistle:

 Funerals don't tend to involve high-speed driving :p

Various European executive cars have been stretched into mourners cars over the years, Saabs included. But are Coleman Milne/Woodhall Nicholson the only funeral car coachbuilders in the UK? Couldn't this be from someone else?

 The third thumbnail shows the seatbelt guide - but with no seatbelt in it. This would probably confirm it's a stretch, no?

Seats look like they need a good clean...

 @G-MANN: Of course, there are more active funeral car coachbuilders around in the UK, but: A six door Saab isn't something you sell (better: get rid of) every day. As Coleman Milne, probably the best known surviving hearse manufacturer of the UK, did a lot of advertising for their Saab hearses and limousines, it's rather unlikely that another coachbuilder would have made it's own one-off nowadays, instead of just buying one at CM and selling it to their customer. This is much more economic and common practice, so it's safe to assume this one is a Coleman Milne.
