ABOUT OUR CARS
All of our fleet are genuine vintage vehicles which will be appreciated by the more discerning wedding couples who put their wedding transport high on their list of priorities. We don’t supply modern fake Kit Cars, made to look old. We are classic car enthusiasts, who have been lucky enough to have made our passion into our business. Whilst we upgrade our vehicles for safety, comfort and reliability reasons , we pride ourselves in maintaining the classic beauty of these cars from a bygone era. Each vehicle has an upgraded heater installed for those chillier Irish months plus a sound system hooked up to Amazon Alexa to enhance the enjoyment of your experience with us.
“SHELLEY”
Our VW Samba deluxe bus originating in Brazil , spent a number of years in Indonesia before being rescued by ourselves which involved completing a full nut and bolt restoration. We made sensible upgrades to the running gear and interior to make your time with Shelley a comfortable, safe and enjoyable experience on your big day. Every happy couple who chose Shelley for their big day absolutely loves the smiles and waves from young and old as we ferry them on the happiest day of their lives.
“CAPTAIN ANDY”
Our 1956 black convertible Jaguar is one of the most elegant vehicles I have ever come across. We recently brought him in from Brisbane Australia where it had been “coach built” making it a two door convertible, the only one of its kind in the world. Jaguar company missed a trick by not making this convertible version as a production offering. This makes Captain extremely valuable and definitely the choice for the most discerning of brides who has her bridal vehicle high up on her priority list .Captain Andy evokes images of Princess Grace Kelly being chauffeured along “Les Corniche” overlooking the bay of Monaco.
“THE KITSTER ”
Our 1968 Pearl Ivory coloured Daimler 250 is a must for the bride who wishes for the more traditional white car on her big day. Her stunning deep red leather interior along with the burr walnut woodwork makes for a lovely sense of occasion for any couple who appreciates the handmade craftsmanship of days gone by.
Shelley, our VW kombi started life in 1972 in Brazil. Her first family put her to work in the Rio De Janiero barrios around Ipanema and Cococabana beaches. After five years she was sent to Ubud, Bali, Indonesia again being used as a taxi service for the next twenty years or so.
I found Shelly in 2012 and set about restoring her to her original glory. Shelley has had a Subaru 2 liter engine and Subaru five speed gearbox installed making her as reliable as any modern car. We also installed modern comfortable passenger seats with integrated three point seat belts, sound proofing, heat insulation , two modern fan heaters and a nice stereo sound system .
Shelley now a “23 window Samba ” drives, handles and stops like a modern vehicle but has retained all the charming character of the that iconic VW bus so loved around the world including her Safari front window which opens and looks great on camera.
While there may be a number of other VW camper vans in Ireland, none have the same charm, comfort and reliability as Shelley and she is the only split screen model we know of.
Shelly has a beautiful cream leather interior and can carry 8 passengers comfortably but we recommend a maximum of 6 for weddings to allow room for the brides beautiful dress.
I love the smiles and waves we get from both the young and the not so young as we drive around our beautiful country. With Shelley’s modern reliability / performance and charm I decided to embark on the process of getting a limo licence for her (SPSV). She is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants to arrive safely, in comfort and most importantly in style for your special occasion.
