Title: Anyone got/know somebody who's got a posh motor? Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, August 14, 2008, 12:27:18 The guy who was doing our car for the wedding has decided to tell us two days before that he can't anymore because he can't find a part for it. Grrr.
He's offered us use of one of his other cars, but it's a R-Reg Merc and tbh the car we've got for the bridesmaids is better than that. If anyone knows of someone who'd be able to help, please let me know. Cheers. Title: Re: Anyone got/know somebody who's got a posh motor?

Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, August 14, 2008, 12:36:04 Sam, there is a place in Calne (or at least there used to be) - Atwells Motor Museum I think its called - who rent out cars for weddings. We had one provided for us as a gift - Old Roller - but they have many others. Don't know the number, or even if its still operating, but worth chasing down.

We had one provided for us as a gift - Old Roller - but they have many others. Don't know the number, or even if its still operating, but worth chasing down. Atwells is still running but can be a little pricey. Sammo I've sent you one lot of details and will send another fella's contact details in a bit!

You may be able to claim and they may have a company locally that can supply a substitute car? Nope, we don't. The original car was being provided FOC so I can't complain too much, but it would've been nice for him to give us a bit more notice. Title: Re: Anyone got/know somebody who's got a posh motor?

Title: Re: Anyone got/know somebody who's got a posh motor? Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, August 14, 2008, 13:08:00 That really isn't funny. Anyone who is married knows how stressful the organisation can be. Really sorry to hear about your predicament.
Can't help with suggestions for vintage car firms, Sam, but I would like to wish you and your fiancée all the best for Saturday. Despite the last minute hitch, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful day.
