Vintage Wedding Car

I had spotted three vintage wedding cars driving down Bealey Avenue as I was on my way to grab some lunch . I thought ‘wow they’d make a great shot pity I’m driving!’. Well, wouldn’t you know it, 20 minutes later I’m going down Barbadoes Street and there are the three vintage cars parked outside the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. I pulled over and the three drivers were sitting there waiting for the wedding service to be over. I took my snaps and went on my way, and only then it occurred to me to ask what model the cars are! So if you are one of the drivers please leave a comment (or anyone else who knows for that matter!).

    Its a beautiful photograph!
    I must admit, anytime I see a vintage car of such beauty, I start drooling and compulsively reach for my camera. The Cathedral is such a suitable backdrop to!

    Cheers!

    I was looking for top quality transport for my wedding day from a local, reliable operator, and no further here I got Vintage Wedding Cars. So, overall I’m very happy and grateful to the chauffeurs that provides such a fabulous car. I would say please let me know if any other modification is there. Thanks for the photographs!

    I absolutely LOVE these old cars. I was about to mention the “coincidence” behind the license plate being partially the model of it. Chris beat me to it though.

    Antique for the win!

    Hi. I’m getting married next year and it’s my intentions to use a vintage car or cars for transport. If you know the people who own these cars or operate as a business, could you please pass my email address on to them to contact me or if you would let me have their details, I would be more than happy to contact them. Or could the owner(s) of the cars please get in touch with me if you see my message.

      Hi Jess, it was a private company, and I wasn’t able to get there details. Perhaps try some vintage clubs in Christchurch and they might know who it belongs to.
