MORRIS HIRE REQUEST - SUFFOLK

Dear All,
I was hoping to chauffeur my friends to their wedding in Suffolk in my (ok, its my sisters really) Morris Minor. Sadly, its in Glasgow and can't be spared for the wedding. Does any one have a morris minor (or traveller) in Suffolk (or near by) that I could hire for 24-48 hrs (self-drive)? I, and the happy couple, would be IMMENSELY grateful and would look after it as if it were my own.
AL the best,
Sarah

I doubt if anyone would be insured for an unknown driver to use another persons car for a wedding?Unless by "self drive"you mean you want its owner to drive it?

There a few sites that offer Morris minor hire...but not many that offer a self drive service.And to be honest I dont know many owners that would hire their moggies out.But best bet is proberly to Google it.However, some one may be able to help on here.

Hi, thanks for all you help so far. there are indeed people lovely enough to hire out their moggies on a self drive basis but they all (including the great escape cars) seem to be in Yorkshire or the cotswolds. Hense me inquiring here.... I live in hope.....

I too doubt you will find a Minor owner agreeable to lending their car to an "unknown" driver, but try our Norfolk & Suffolk Branch.
You may find someone who will drive the happy couple.

I do weddings in my convertible (pictured below) but we could not hire out Dibble on a self drive basis. My wedding insurance is for me to drive the car and not a 3rd party. Plus the fact that having put so much time and effort into the restoration I don't want a 3rd party driving the car.
I suspect this is the case for all other wedding minors as well, chauffeur driven only!
