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.

Sue and the team were so helpful and always responded quickly. On the day, Paul drove right up to the front door to avoid my dress getting dirty and he was so lovely on the drive there and back. The car is absolutely stunning and definitely turned some heads. Can’t fault the service :)

Mike turned up in plenty of time on the day, very smartly dressed in his uniform and looked after us so well. The car was gorgeous and as described and we felt like royalty bring driven to various locations in St Albans. So very pleased that we chose this car and the Prosecco supplied was the icing on the cake! Thank you so much.

Exceptional and professional are two words I would use. The planning and communication was excellent, right up to the video call 2 days before the wedding in order to ensure nothing was left to chance.The bride and groom were just bowled over by how special they were made to feel and relaxed. I cannot say enough good things about our overall experience.Thankyou sometimes is just not enough. You made a Happy day even happier.
