The Wedding Cars
As well as Bed and Breakfast, we run a small Wedding Car business; Both Clive and our son Jonathan are committed car enthusiasts and run the wedding car business to enable ownership of some interesting and unusual motor cars.

They range in date from 1928 to 1963 and are available for hire for Weddings, Social events and Balls. The aim is to provide a friendly service that fits in with the specific requirements of the day, rather than giving a prescriptive package.

The cars have been used in the “Poirot” television series, and on “GMTV” as well as appearing in such divers publications as “Wedding and Home” magazine, “Elle”, “Cotswold Life” and “Motor Sport” as well as feature articles in the local Newspapers; “The Citizen” and “The Echo”.

 

The cars date from an age of elegance where long dresses and tailed coats were the norm and so have large passenger compartments with ample leg and head room.

 

1932 Austin Ranelagh 7 Seater Limousine


This is our latest purchase finished in royal blue and ivory with midnight blue interior. The car is fitted with folding seats and has other period fittings. The car has been recently restored and faithfully represents a time when attention to detail was so important.

This spacious and imposing vehicle is - in every respect - absolutely magnificent. In addition to its other original vintage features, it still has a speaking tube for orders to be given from the opulent passenger quarters to the chauffeur in the front. Used in the past for State occasions, it is undeniably the ultimate traditional wedding limousine.

Burgundy over Black this is a true English Vintage Motor Car, artillery wheels, klaxon horn, nickel radiator and lovely carriage door handles give this wonderful car true character. A 16 HP 6 cylinder engine gives a smooth and powerful ride - just not very fast !! The second largest interior of all our cars.

This car has recently been fully restored in Burgundy over Black

 

1947 Alvis TA 14

A Burgundy and Ivory 3 position drophead coupé - stunning for those rare English Summer days when the sun is shining and the breeze is light. Used by GMTV during their features on Stately Homes to transport the presenter in style. A very charming motor car.

 

1949 Austin Sheerline

An imposing Bentley lookalike from the same period - just post-war transport with bags of style. Huge chrome headlights and a very imposing presence make this a car to be noticed in. It weighs two tons and without power steering can be hard work in confined spaces but out on the road, the 4 ltr 6 cylinder engine pulls the car along swiftly and quietly. Midnight Blue over Ivory.

 

1954 Alvis TC 21/100 ‘Grey Lady’

Midnight Blue over Old English White, this is a car to be noticed in ! developed as a 100 mph sports saloon it has a powerful 3 ltr straight 6 engine and the straight through exhaust pipes makes sure you are noticed when coming down the road.

 

1963 Alvis TD21


This is a Gentleman’s magnificent black Sports Saloon. The same 3 ltr engine as the Grey Lady but with an automatic gearbox and refined, all round disc brakes this is a car to enjoy being seen in. Considered by many, including Works personnel to be the most refined of the 3 ltr range of Alvises. Only 289 of these cars were built.

Very stylish !
