How do you get everybody to the church on time?
Buy a fleet of specialist wedding cars, that’s how! No less than 12 will be on offer in H&H’s March sale and range from such standard British fare as a MKII Jaguar and 420G, to a very fine Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III: the latter two are finished in metallic burgundy over champagne. Still rarer is the equally pretty Bristol 403.
There is a pair of RHD 1939 McLaughlin Buicks (one a limousine) and a LHD 1963 Riviera finished in cream with burgundy leather trim. It is in outstanding condition throughout. A 1931 Ford Model A Victoria Coupe and Hudson 8 complete the American selection.
Of very different appeal is the black stretched Range Rover. Believed to have cost £139,000 when new, it was built for the Sultan of Brunei and features all the creature comforts you might expect. Displaying a mere 14,000 miles, it is virtually as good as new.
