The Cars
“Winston” is huge. At 18 feet long with forward-opening ‘suicide’ rear doors, not only is there lots of space in the rear compartment for flowing dresses, but the wide door-aperture means your photographer can take some lovely in-car photographs without doors getting in the way. In 1948, a Chrysler New Yorker was a top of the range luxury car. (Incidentally, this actual car featured in the recent Hollywood movie ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’, starring Hugh Grant and Meryl Streep).
“Marilyn” is the ultimate glamour car. In 1949, you had to “be someone” to own a car like this. At 17 feet long, it is impressive and very roomy. With a power-operated hood, you can be protected from the elements on the journey. Upon arrival at your destination, a press of a switch allows the hood to retract as you get ready to stand up in the rear seat area and exit like a film star. Naturally there is a powerful heater, wide doors and loads of legroom. The side windows can be left raised, or fully retracted.
The Marcos.
Grooms: Impress your guests by arriving at the ceremony in the “1969 Marcos 3-Litre Fireball-the fastest 3-Litre production car we have ever tested” (Motor Magazine, 1969). Strictly a 2-seater, the Marcos will be chauffeur driven for you. We will be pleased to ‘take you for a spin’ on route to your destination, for a once in a lifetime experience in this classic British sports car. Be warned: it is low (extremely low), so you need to be fit and agile even to get into it, or get out! It is not suitable for journeys with speed bumps in the road, unmade roads or tracks due to its minimal ground clearance, but what a thrill!
