A Nice Old Car and Driver Needed For A Wedding For Approx 1&1/2 hrs in Tonbridge Area. Sept 07?

My daughter is getting married in september this year and her partner and herself have financed almost all of it themselves. We are buying her wedding cake for her. She has asked my partner to take her to the venue ( 5mins down the road) in his MG. Its the only really nice open top car any of us have. Unfortunately it has only 2 seats, I%26#039;m giving her away and although I don%26#039;t mind not riding with her, I do think it will be a bit of a squash in her dress but she is unfazed and happy to use this car.



I have telephoned and emailed numerous wedding car companies to explain that we only need the car for approx 1%26amp;1/2hrs at most. 5mins drive to venue, hang around for 1/2hr to have some pics done afterwards.



Unfortunately everyone has quoted a cost of 鎷oo much! Some have said we must have 4hrs hire, which seems such a waste.



Does anyone know someone who does this sort of thing as a sideline? I%26#039;d love to surprise her with something special that is affordable by myself. Thanks

If he%26#039;s a real MG fan (especially if he%26#039;s a member of the MG Owners Club), getting in touch with the owners club may help. There are lots of classic 4-seater 1950s MGs about - and someone may be willing to help.

most brides dont like surprises, if you are going to do this - tell her!

OK.. this is just my opinion but.. what the heck does she want an OPEN CAR for on the way TO the wedding? Everyone is going to be seated already so no one will see her arrive in it, and she%26#039;s going to have to fix her hair up before entering the church!



If you want a nice vintage car to take her to the wedding, contact an old car club in the area. Often the owners are happy to drive brides to their weddings for a nominal fee or donation to their club, and I really think she%26#039;d be better off arriving at the wedding with her hairdo intact!



Then you could lend the couple your wonderful open 2-seater to LEAVE in.. don%26#039;t forget the tin cans and %26#039;just married%26#039; sign :)

one thing that might help is to look on vintage car rally sites in your area and contact them, usually they know people who wont mind usuing their cars for a wedding and do it at a good price, we go to loads of rallies in cornwall and many of them use the car for weddings that doent advertise, good luck with your search.
