1920's Charabanc for hire

[craig r]

Afternoon All!

The time has finally come for me to get married and my wife to be has decided that a 1920's style wedding is what she wants and has (stupidly) left organising the transport down to me as 'I'm more into cars and stuff'...

So, does anyone have / know someone or a company that will hire out (with a driver) a 1920's style bus to ferry guests between wedding ceremony venue and wedding reception venue? Google has only thrown out one company - based in Wales - and have already informed me that Wiltshire is outside of the operating area. Can't say I blame them as it is a bloody long way!

As said, wedding is going to be in Wiltshire - I will post this in the regional section as well, (mods, please leave her for a bit) but thought the classic car people might be more knowledgeable about the subject.

Thanks,

You should talk to David Sloane. He has a couple of these. He is near me in Tunbridge Wells. PM for his number

Thanks. PM doesn't appear to be working, Google has come to the rescue though.

Probably classic Car Hire?
I think he may be on holiday - but keep trying. Just tell him that Paul with the Lotus sent you!

I used this one for my own wedding. Sussex based but would have thought they would put it on a trailer and transport it if it was being used more than a few miles away. We've been using their car service for 15 years and they're proper enthusiasts.

That is spot on! My spare time is now going to be filled drooling over some of the cars on that site.

Huge thanks!

There is a place in Winkleigh in Devon that has old buses, not sure if it is too far away but they may be able to help. I think they are called The West of England Transport collection or similar. As an aside they have an open day in October which is great to see old vehicles in action.
