What does Landaulette mean?

Last update on 12 Mar 2025

Quick answer

Landaulette is a style of vehicle featured with a semi-convertible soft-top roof such as vintage Regent, Bramwith, Imperial or classic Daimler Limousines.

A Landaulette (or Landaulet) is a style of vehicle with a semi-convertible roof. The rear part of the roof has a retractable soft-top while the front section of the vehicle remains fully enclosed. The Landaulette section that opens is usually over the rear seats and allows passengers to travel in a semi-open carriage, the fixed forward part of the roof also helps to lessen any wind buffeting for those sitting in the open landaulette cabin.

Landaulette style vehicles are popular for wedding hire as they provide the ability for stunning photos of the Happy Couple while also enjoying the “open-air” on their way to the reception.

 

Most Landaulette vehicles are classic or vintage and therefore have manual retractable roofs, as opposed to todays modern electric roofs.
