Wedding Cars: Classic or Contemporary?
Discussion
I am getting married in October and currently musing over what would make an appropriate wedding car.
I am not a fan of anything with pre war tbh.
I am currently split between a Mk2 Jag 3.8 1959. And a modern Merc S-Class.
Ideally I would like the new Jag XJ, but cant find may companies that have them in their fleet. Though I would as the PH massive for opinions and experiences good or bad?
If anyone has any recommendations for good companies in the Basingstoke / Hampshire area that would be much appreciated also!

Pink stretch limousine 
I'd like something classic for my wedding so I would choose the Jag.
For some reason I don't think modern cars pull the wedding car look off too well?
If it was my choice it would be a Rolls

No offence but seeing that rolls did make me want to 
I had the same problem when I got wed.
SS Jaguar, or new Mercedes.
The problem was that the SS needed trailering to the church, I heard various horror stories about sparsely used classics breaking down on the day.
I went for a 2x Merc S500 in Black, looked the nuts. Proffesional drivers too. (Chauffeurs in the City)

It's a lot of money for cars for a tiny period of time.
We had a family member who had a brand new E class he offered to drive as his wedding gift. Greatly received. Something to consider.
I know friends who had DBS's etc cost a small fortune and really they did 5 miles in them.
I'd rather hire one for the weekend and not call it a wedding hire then enjoy it as the day goes by so quickly
If you do want to go with a car then to me it has to be an E type timeless class

This would be Ideal, however no hire companies will insure me if I were the driver as under 25, another day though... We had a family member who had a brand new E class he offered to drive as his wedding gift. Greatly received. Something to consider.

I'd go for a classic over the merc as others have said to much I'm been driven to the airport
How about a classic Mini?? I'm being serious here
A group of us attended a friends wedding in Devon (people travelled from the Midlands, Leeds, Kent and Wales for it we all dressed our cars up and the bridesmaids got to choose which cars they travelled in (they picked mine
)
Although the bride and groom invited us all they didn't expect most of us to turn up due to the distance but it made their day seeing us all lined up to celabrate their speical day.
If you know anyone in a car club its worth asking if anyone can help.
