Lanchester Coupe de Ville
Vehicle Ref 374
About this vehicle:
This beautiful car from the fabulous fifties era is in a Turqouise shade of Blue and has a large two litre engine and can seat three passengers in comfort. It was the star at the 1951 Paris Motor Show and its tropical colour was chosen by its first owner Lady Docker, but this timeless classic never went in to full production so she really is a rare sight indeed. Even one of the most famous people in the world Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had to settle for a saloon version, which she still owns. Seen at many 1950’s film premieres with such stars as Audrey Hepburn, this Lanchester built by the combined Daimler-Lanchester company was one of the last of the Lanchesters to be built. This was the top of the range, a powerful automatic vehicle with a touch-button drop top power hood, ideal to reveal the famous occupants for photography and really quite unique in the 1950’s. This particular Lanchester is due to appear in some period films which are currently in production and due to be released in 2018-19.

Glynn was absolutely amazing, he was so professional, calming, polite and chatty. He made us feel really comfortable during our journey which was very needed on such a high-pressure day. Nothing was too much of an ask, Glynn just wanted us to feel comfortable.

Fantastic service, Richard our driver was really friendly and all of our guests were transported from the hotel to the venue in the camper van on time! We ended up being a little early so he drove us around for a while before heading to the venue and offered to wait to take photos!
