Hi all

Well, I'm getting married next year and one of my duties as a petrolhead is to source the wedding cars. Budget is tight, but we want something a little bit different. A couple of Quattroporte's would be excellent!

I'm unsure of the finer details at the moment, but we'll need two cars. The locations are all within ten miles of each other, and are north of Chester. I *think* we'll need a four-seater and a two-seater.

Any PH'ers with 'exotics' fancy earning a few extra £'s? I'm loathe to pay the ~ £600 that most places want for two cars for a few hours, and if it comes down to it I'd rather hire two E-Class Mercedes/5 series from Enterprise and get my friends to drive!

Cheers

Sorry I only have an MCS and a DC2. But did do some research into this a few years back.

It might work out cheaper to hire the beemer from a dealership. We were quoted £60 for a 535i for the weekend from Halliwell Jones in warrington. Merc might do a similar deal.

The few local guys I know from here all have 2 door cars, so may not be able to help.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't know that dealers might hire cars out, i'll give Haliwell Jones a call I think. I'll also look into hiring something nice from Enterprise.

Cheers

If a dealer won't hire you one officially - try bunging a sales guy £50 and im sure a '48 hour test drive' could soon be arranged!!

Ha! You think? Worth a try I suppose. Not sure I match the demographic of your typical 750i buyer but i'll give it a shot!

If you cover the insurance for the day on my old mans 535d, I'll take you - I'm not insured in it anymore wink

Other than that, I can put you in touch with someone who has an S55 AMG amongst other things who does chauffeuring?

Hi, sorry for delay, will dig them out in the morning and send you over a PM - it's my uncle so as long as he's not booked up I don't see it being an issue.

I saw him Xmas day and he said he would be sorting it out for you. Worth giving him a quick call and chasing him up I reckon.

Hillbark funnel Cava into expensive champagne bottles and sell it as such. Enough for me to stay away.

I have a Silver BMW 730i 53 plate in mint condition all leather interior etc and a pale blue 654i 57 but on a private plate convertible cream leather interior, so the 645i is a four seater...just but I am sure you know that. Sorry no Quattroporte's.
I have just had my cars hired out via my dad for another wedding (in other words he hired my cars out then let me know what he had done). If you don't sort anything let me know if you want the same arrangement and when you would need it and if the dates ok it may be an option for you.
My dad arranged that we would charge £200 for both cars to pick up groom and some guests in liverpool and take to adelphi hotel as the wedding and reception was there and then did the same run with the bride, a bridesmaid , dad mum and 2 young kids on the 2nd run - so 2 drivers and cars for a few hours. We put all normal bows etc on the cars so they looked really good. My dad does wedding photography at a really good price as well if you want details on that. We are based in Wirral.
