Wedding car request

Post by **JacksonEllen** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 10:16 am

A young girl from the gym I (occasionally) attend is getting wed in July 09.
She's often admired my Mog, although has only ever seen it in the dark when it's parked outside so hasn't seen the less-than-concours rust and paintwork.
She said recently that rather than have a 'tacky limmo' as a wedding car, she and her fiance would love to arrive at the church in a Morris Minor convertable and did I know of anyone who had one?
As I've yet to join the club (cheque in the post though - guys) I don't know anyone who has one' let alone anyone who does wedding hire or would offer to do this so I'm asking on this site.

The wedding will be in the Blandford/Sturminster Marshall/Wimborne area of Dorset in July. I don't know any more than that but told her I would ask around. Given the acres of fabulous, gleaming convertables at Avon Heath last year maybe one of you Dorset crew out there would be willing to oblige? I'm happy to pass on details to her.
I would offer my own car but we've taken the front seat out to get our disabled boxer dog in - meaning the bride would have to sit on the floor!

There are a few companies that do Morris Minor wedding hire. Some just do Minors and you'll normally find their ads in Minor Matters (club mag).
15 minutes on Google will find them and some other companies that include a Minor in their collection.

The main problem you'll face is location - unless you find a local one you'll pay a lot extra for travel time etc...

I suggest you contact our Dorset Branch - brian at dorsetmmoc dot co dot uk who may be able to put you in touch with a local member who could help them.

markattard,
If you want to come to Leamington in the middle February in the white convertible you'd be very welcome!
Just let me know before tomorrow though as i'm about to post a cheque

Not with the way the pound is performing against the euro

although I have enjoyed a nice holiday there in the past Frank and it was nice to see a few examples of the extended load bay of the maltese pickups
