Making a show-stopping entrance for the bride and a lively exit for the happy couple has always required the perfect wedding car, which is as vital as the wedding dress, the seating layout at the venue, the cake and the bridal party – and a significant component of the roughly £30,000 that the average British wedding currently costs.

When it comes to your wedding arrangements, one thing is certain and that is that you will most likely want to travel in style, and most couples agree that there is no better way than being chauffeured in a luxury Rolls-Royce by a fully uniformed chauffeur. However, the selection of automobiles available for hiring nowadays is vast and you can choose anything from classic wedding cars to vintage cars and some of the latest models that are available.

However, there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about what a classic car is and how it differs from a vintage or antique car. We have seen the term ‘classic’ being used indiscriminately to describe any vintage car that appears to be out of place on the roads alongside contemporary day drivers. Simply defined, classic cars are ...
... those that are more than 20 years old, while antique cars are those that are more than 45 years old, and vintage cars are those that were produced between 1919 and 1930.
The Rolls Royce Phantom is without a doubt the most desired classic wedding car for British weddings since it lends a touch of luxury to any wedding day. The Phantom is recognised for its remarkable reputation of elegance, thanks to its sumptuous interior and stunning design.
On the other hand, the wedding of James Matthews and Pippa Middleton certainly taught us those classic weddings cars outperform their contemporary counterparts by a wide margin, so we have produced a list of five of the old classic analogues of Britain's more popular classic wedding cars.

Aston Martin

Big Astons are becoming increasingly popular as classic wedding cars, and what other old classic would be more suitable to drive you and your loved one into the sunset, than an Aston Martin? If Prince William thinks the DB6 MkII convertible is good enough, so should you. Remember the car James Bond swerved around in? The first time Bond drove an Aston Martin was in Goldfinger, but that was the DB Mark III and not the legendary DB5, which is the more popular choice.
Daimler DB18 Special Sports
This is the ideal choice for the bride who wishes to arrive in a tranquil setting with an open vehicle, with her proud father or mother next to her side and radiating flowing elegance. The majority of these sports models feature eye-catching two-tone paintwork that perfectly depicts the Grace Kelly period, and while the car will not reach top speeds, its overall smoothness and stateliness will never let you down.

Volkswagen Campervan

This one never fails. What could be better than the bride coming out between the thrown-open barn doors of a sparkling old classic like the VW campervan to add a touch of rebellious happiness to the festivities? The 12 seats are useful if you wish to break with the tradition of conventional weddings and have your bridesmaids or family members travel alongside you on your special day.

Triumph Renown

Your wedding guests will most likely have no idea what type of car this is, but the razor-edged lines radiate a clipped elegance, and the raised and roomy back seats, as well as the large windows, will frame the bride-in-transit most pleasingly. If a Rolls Royce is too flashy for your liking, you will find that an aged Triumph has a certain delicacy about it that might pique your interest.
Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray
If one half of the wedding party has American ties, such as in the case of Harry and Meghan, or if you just want to do something unusual – perhaps the roar of all-American V8 muscle produced by the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, might appeal to you. If you wish to opt for an all-British edition, a TVR Chimaera might be the better choice for you.
If you are not sure where to find any of these classic wedding cars, you might start with the internet to search for wedding car hire services in your area. Once you find a suitable company, you can browse their online selection of wedding cars and decide what type of wedding car appeals to you.
