Your Yorkshire Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 28)

Best of British We love this ‘30s-style Beauford two-door convertible with its seemingly never ending bonnet! “It evokes feelings of nostalgia by paying homage to a bygone age when the world moved at a more relaxed pace,” says owner of Aquarius Wedding Cars Samantha Buckingham. “This soft top convertible gives couples a fairytale arrival on sunny days but is also well equipped for dealing with Britain’s unpredictable weather, so it’s suitable for year round celebrations,” she says. Ok – so we could argue its heritage but this 1937 Daimler Lanchester from Fairytale Wedding Cars is a real stunner. “This prestigious award-winning car is the only one of its kind in the world. With her royal blue and Mason’s black paintwork she’s the only darker coloured car on our fleet, giving her complete originality,” says Steve. How very remiss it would be to exclude a classic Rolls from the Best of British section! This stunning Silver Shadow II from Bliss Wedding Cars exudes quintessential Britishness. “This vehicle is a fine example of a Rolls and with soft blue leather, walnut interior and full air-conditioning, couples can feel truly pampered on their big day,” says owner John Sellors. This rare and beautiful 1948 Bentley took three years to restore and is owned by Classic Car Hire Yorkshire. “Designed with elegant razor-edged styling and finished in Mason’s black with pepper white side panels, the interior has been fully refurbished in West of England cloth and sumptuous Napa leather to the seats and doors,” says director Christopher White. 52
