Cool Wedding Cars That Beat The Cliches
When it comes to weddings, classic cars beat their modern counterparts. So, to save you hours of furious Googling, we've compiled a list of the classic equivalent of Britain's more popular wedding cars. For use with your nuptials, or just to show up the groom...
Aston Martin DB9 to Aston Martin DB6
Big Astons are becoming more and more popular as wedding cars, but how could you drive any other Aston into the sunset than this? If the DB6 MkII convertible is good enough for Prince William, it's good enough for you. Also, this one lets you swerve the old James Bond cliche (he drove a DB5)...
Bentley Continental to Bentley Continental Series 1 H.J. Mulliner
Fast luxury has been Bentley's USP since its inception, and if you need proof, this is it. The Series 1 Continental H.J. Mulliner might have a bit of a daft name, but the only danger of getting hold of this £1m classic is that it'll look better than you.
Jaguar XJ to Jaguar 420G
The new XJ might just the job for crushing continents in 2017, but its predecessors up the sophistication stakes somewhat. The 420G isn't a direct relative, but this Kray Twins-approved saloon has presence by the bucketload. Just check the local roads on your route - it's one of the widest British cars ever built.
Mercedes Maybach to Mercedes 600 Grosser
We love a modern Maybach, but the original long wheelbase Benz was this - the vast, Teutonic Mercedes W100 Grosser. Coco Chanel and Pol Pot owned one, which pretty much says it all.
Mercedes S-Class to Mercedes 280SE
Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 to Rolls-Royce Phantom Mk VI
Rolls-Royce stopped Phantom production this year to prepare for its 2018 model, so there isn't currently a "new" flagship Roller. This Mk VI is your classic equivalent. It's so good that the Queen has a couple.
