Wedding - Only a Corvette will do...
Discussion
Dear all,
A close friend of mine is getting married next summer and I’d like to sort out the transport for his big day. The guy is a massive fan of Corvettes so as far as I’m concerned, to leave the church on his special day, nothing else will do...
He fell in love with the marque during a year working in the States where he was lucky enough to borrow one for a few months! Since his return (3 years ago) he hasn’t stopped going on about it...
Problem: my initial enquiries reveal no companies in the UK that do ‘wedding hire’ for Corvettes!
I’d be very grateful if someone could point me in the direction of a suitable company...
Alternatively (if I can’t organise a day’s rental), would any of you consider discussing arrangements so I can help make his day as great as possible... The wedding is in the Midlands...
(P.S. apologies in advance for being a TVR owner)
Many thanks
Graham

Cheers for the responses guys...
I don’t think the model is that critical, it’s the breed that’s important.
I know that the lucky/condemned man (Dan) thinks the classics are absolutely stunning, however I also know he’s in awe whenever he sees one of the newer ones...
I did a little research of the background last night - You’ll probably pick me up for my Corvette knowledge being patchy:
He drove a ‘73 Stingray that had a 350 small block. During the year he literally spent hundreds of hours helping the owner (who will no doubt be over for the wedding) do a chassis-off overhaul. During the re-build they put in a 350cu from a stock car!
I’m told it was in great condition and it always sounded like an insane motor to me...
(I’ll post some photos if anyone’s interested)
I believe the church is in Hagley (South of Birmingham).
Church delivery would be great... Having cars that are louder than the Church organ and bells combined would be epic!
Nigel: Your motor looked fantastic at Lemans (assuming it was you I saw with the full race decals). It was my first event - My Chim was striped up in Union Jack colours but looked discreet next to your Z06!

Oops, that's torn it.............he's definately going to get the hump now
Full race decals?? it was probably mine.
Twin Turbos, spitting flames?? then it was Nige's

Spitting flames works for me too!!!
Has anyone got any pics of Vette's at Weddings?

Seriously though as it has already been mentioned I am sure there would be a few people on here and in the CCCUK who would be glad to help.
