Wedding Car in Sheffield Please!

Post by Leezelle81 »

Hi There

I was wondering if any Morris Minor owner in the Yorkshire area would be so kind as to consider hiring their Morris Minor and themselves out as a chauffer for my bridal car next year and earning some extra spend's!? Sunday 3rd June to be precise! I would love to arrive to my wedding in a Morris Minor as I love them but am struggling to find a company which hires them out in South Yorkshire.

It would be a one way journey and some photo's.

I would really appreciate anyone wanting to discuss this!

Thank you
Lisa

Try contacting the local Barnsley Branch, I know one or two members are supplying cars for a wedding in Sheffield this year, so depending what sort of Minor you want it would be worth a call.

Hello Lisa,
although I usually just do weddings in the south east of England, last month, I re-arranged my visit up North to Scotland to co-incide with a wedding in Newcastle, where the bride wanted to arrive at church in a white Minor convertible. As this worked out surprisingly well, I could possibly do the same next year if you can't find a car more local to you. I would have to ask you to pay for accomodation in addition to the usual fee, as I would have to stop overnight locally to you the day before the wedding.

Is the location of the wedding fairly close to the route south such as the A1??

Will send you my wedding car business by PM. My wedding car is called "Dibble" and is the convertible pictured in my signature.

good luck!

regards
John

Hi John

The wedding is not near the A1 I am afraid so I think it would probably be too far for you.

Thank you for your post! :D
