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.

Steve was absolutely brilliant. Communication before the day was excellent, he was exactly where he was supposed to be on time! I had no stresses at all!

Adrian provided a fantastic and friendly service, adding the perfect finishing touch to our James Bond themed wedding. The car looked amazing and we really enjoyed the ride from the church to our reception.
We did not feel rushed at all and as it started to rain Adrian was even there ready with the Aston Martin umbrella!

We were so lucky to have Catherine - the beautiful Austin Princess booked for our wedding by my wonderful mother-in-law.
The car was immaculate and even better than the pictures. Every attention to detail was there and it was a glorious ride to and from the service to the venue.
The driver was so smart and welcoming, there in plenty of time and gave us a lovely drive and we got lots of honks and waves along the way. A really regal experience that our two little flower girls loved, so much so that we could not say no when they wanted to come back to the venue with us. The smiles on their faces was priceless.
My groom and I have such wonderful memories of our day, and this car was really the icing on the cake. We also got a gorgeous keepsake velvet pouch with a snippet of the car ribbon and the cork from our bubbly which we will keep forever.
Thank you Andrew!

Honestly, where to begin! Such a wonderful service via Andrew from the very start of contacting him. Andrew was so helpful to select our package for the big day, very professional and responsive. You’re not limited on time for your day.
Everything ran on time and Andrew was so polite and friendly on the day as well as patient waiting for photos and helping us get our ‘top down’ photos on the beautiful car on our time limit we had too! We also were gifted our cork from our bubbles in a lovely pouch and received a wedding card too, those extra touches and overall service made the whole experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!

So glad we booked. They were professional from start to finish. Communication was great as well as being lovely on the day. Their cars are beautiful and clearly well looked after.
We loved the small touches of the cork from bottle of fizz and a wedding card soon followed.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something special

Aadil made our special day even more special! We could not recommend him more, we were extremely happy and satisfied with the service provided. Aadil arrived to collect us promptly on time, even a few minutes earlier which was very comforting. We booked the Austin Princess Limousine, and it was perfectly clean and beautifully decorated from the inside and outside. Aadil was super polite and kind, and literally went above and beyond for us, by making sure the car was in a perfect location for photos in front of the venue and also went the extra mile by following our photographers instructions and requests to position the car / repeat entries to get the perfect shot. This seamless experience definitely contributed to the perfect wedding day.
