Oakland Model 40 Tourer
Vehicle Ref 248
About this vehicle:
A magnificent and very rare Oakland Model 40 Tourer dating back to 1912, being one of only eight known of this model that are still in existence. This Edwardian car can act as a sophisticated backdrop to your wedding photographs alongside providing an elegant form of transport for the big day.
This most imposing and powerful car is superbly presented in Silver Grey livery with red coach lining and black wings. Upholstery is in deep-buttoned black leather and the car is equipped with a fully enveloping hood, a folding brass windscreen and coach lamps, hickory spoke wheels with running boards on both sides for easier entry and exit.
The Oakland Tourer is an open sided convertible so can be used with the roof fully down as a full convertible or the roof closed with the sides open which will offer protection from above.
The only thing missing to make this a ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ style of car is wings and you could then fly to the ceremony. In the meantime the chauffeur will glide you to the ceremony at a serene pace at ground level. As with all open sided tourers a little wind from the side should be considered. A beautiful and elegant vehicle from the golden era of transportation.

Harvey was brilliant and we loved being driven to the wedding in his car. We visited Harvey a few months before and he told us all about the car and let us have a sit inside. He was attentive, checking in via email every now and again and turned up with plenty of time to spare on the wedding morning meaning we were very relaxed about getting to the ceremony. Could not have asked for better service :)

Just perfect. I feel very embarrassed to say I can't remember the name of our driver, but my goodness he was amazing! He was so calming on the way to the church and when things ran over slightly he did not rush us at all. He was just as special as the car to us on our wedding day.
A huge thank you. Wonderful service and would highly recommend to any other couples booking their wedding day transport. Thank you. Becky
