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.

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!

The Rolls Royce Ghost Series II was stunning. Our driver Jay arrived 45 minutes early and was super helpful in every way. The whole package was perfect. We would highly recommend Premier Carriage Wedding Cars and especially this wonderful vehicle and the driver Jay.

We hired the Beaufort 4 Door Wedding Car for our special day, and it was absolutely perfect! The car itself was stunning—elegant, comfortable, and a real head-turner. It added such a classic touch to our wedding. Our driver was fantastic— professional, punctual, and incredibly friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. Everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!"
