Franklin 147 Saloon Special

About this vehicle:

This amazing American Vintage car in Devon is very rare indeed and after spending it’s early life in the USA it went to Canada to be fully restored, and now there are only 11 left in the world with this particular car being the only one left in europe so if you want your wedding transport to be unique then this Franklin should top the list. 

The engine in the Franklin is actually an aeroplane engine although we are assured your chauffeur will keep strictly to the roads on the way to the ceremony venue, although the Bride may have her head in the clouds !  With it’s wide band whitewall tyres and hickory spoked wheels this vintage car is truly a little bit of American history. 

You will definitely be noticed in this head turning automobile.  Although a rare car we actually have a matching pair of these Franklins if two are required.

Nigel (and Ruby) were absolutely brilliant. We completed a trial drive a couple of weeks before which was really useful and I was made to feel at ease which made the drive to our wedding slightly less nerve wracking. I would highly recommend.

The car was better than the pictures and in perfect condition. The chauffeur was professional, friendly and attentive. We worked well with our photographer to create some great shots.

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 :)
