I am getting married in September next year and we want a classic mini to chauffeur us about. Getting it on a self drive basis is also an option.

Does anybody know a reputable place or person that could help? It needs to be in the Reading area if possible but anywhere in Berkshire would do.

Can anyone help?

Can't really help, but one bit of advice would be that you're wife to be may struggle getting in/out with a dress on!

I got married 3 months ago and we had a pony and trap (horse and cart apparently) and the wife struggled fitting through the small width doors without ripping the dress. And no, she's not a fatty so that wasn't it!!

Anyway, congratulations!

Self drive or chauffeur if you remove the front passenger seat.

Have a word with the local mini owners club?

We've had this disscussion, she thinks it will be a laugh. I used to have one (which is partly why we want one at the weeding) so she knows how tight they are, especially in the back wink

Ask at your local Mini club. Check out Mini World or Mini Magazine.
