Let’s be honest. A person can travel to his or her wedding in any one of a number of vintage wedding cars, as they’re all absolutely stunning. But, there is something extra stunning about Rolls Royce wedding cars. It’s the whole emotional response that goes with riding in a Roller †that quiet engine, those gorgeously upholstered seats, the silver lady flying from the bonnet. To a British person, the Roller is luxury †it’s the emblem of everything normally unattainable to the average man or woman. And so, come the dawn of the day of the most important ceremony of his or her life, who wouldn’t want to hit the road in a Rolls Royce? One supposes that the thing about Rolls Royce is that, while the cars itself have obviously changed, looks wise, almost out of recognition, there’s always something about Rolls Royce wedding cars that makes them clearly Rollers. You can just tell when you look at them. They’re the most recognisable vintage wedding cars on the books, and the ones immediately guaranteed to draw crowds at the side of the road as they pass, the white ribbons trailing magnificently from Lady to windscreen, whipping tautly and smartly in the breeze. Perhaps it’s also something to do with the person many islanders like to refer to as our own dear Queen. The Rolls Royce will forever be associate (in the British mind, at any rate) with affairs of State †with Royal processions and ambassadors and Prime Ministers and all of that stuff that makes Upper England what it is. To join that procession, even for a couple of hours, is an experience that very few British people would pass up. The books of vintage wedding cars owned by every car hire firm within spitting distance of London or Windsor are thronged with Rolls Royce wedding cars for this very reason. Just think of it. The day dawns. The bridal preparations are completed in a flurry of champagne, tears and giggles. And then it arrives. A Rolls Royce vintage limo. Perhaps a 1930s Cockshoot model, with its gorgeous primrose body and black gleaming roof. The Cockshoot was, and is, one of the most famous Rollers ever made †and it can be hired per hour for the special day in all its seven seated glory. Imagine cruising smoothly down the road behind those big headlamps, knowing that you are one of only two wedding parties that could possibly be travelling in one: because there are only two operational Rolls Royce wedding cars with Cockshoot bodies left anywhere in the world. Vintage wedding cars are often the only chance a person has to ride in a classic machine †a car beyond valuation, beyond the possibility of owning, beyond most people’s probability of ever seeing. What a wonderful addition they make to that day of first and only times. The first and only time you walk down the aisle; the first and only time you say â€I doâ€; and the first and only time you get to ride in a Rolls Royce.
