Information For Vintage Dreams Wedding Car Motor Company

Vintage Dreams, Wedding Car Motor Company, established 2003, are proud to have built a reputation as a professional and reliable provider of distinctive, Wedding Cars serving Essex & Suffolk.

Vintage Dreams has a fleet of 1930s & 1940s style vehicles all hand coach built to travel in style, plus an original 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1, all of which make picture perfect wedding transport. All our cars are exceptionally spacious and are based upon modern engines and running gear that provide robust, reliable, and comfortable operation but with the vintage appearance of a bygone elegant age. Plus, we have the original Rolls-Royce, the ultimate in luxury. These superbly presented vehicles are kept in excellent condition and guaranteed to draw attention, waves and hooting of horns!

Our fleet (availability & prices for your enquiry are listed further down):

• Rose – Our original 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1 finished in porcelain white, light cream grey Connolly leather trim plus wood dashboard and door cappings. Nothing says ‘class’, ‘style’ and ‘luxury’ like a Rolls-Royce and this model is one of the most elegant and regal they ever produced, as designed by J P Bletchley. Classic sweeping lines are combined with a straight six automatic 4.9L engine, that drives like a modern car. Rose is 5.38m long (17’ 8”) and provides a ride fit for royalty. Ideal for up to 3 adult passengers + driver

• Juliette – Unique ‘Asquith’ wedding omnibus (bus) with an over height wood panelled interior incorporating classic style advertising signage – licensed for 8 passengers (all with individual seats) + driver – comes with personalised wedding graphics to the front of the omnibus – finished in Old English Cream and Blue livery. Normally used as a support vehicle teamed with a car from our fleet but she can be hired standalone.

• Silvy & Annie – luxurious ‘Royale Windsor’ for regal style transportation with landaulette roof (rear roof section opens in seconds) on a long wheelbase (length 5.334m/17’ 6”) which provides ample leg room for the tallest of passengers – sumptuously fitted cream leather and wood interior – ideal for up to 3 adult passengers + driver – finished in Old English Cream & Blue livery to match Juliette, Tiggy and Emily.

• Tiggy – ‘Bramwith’ Ford with landaulette roof (rear roof section opens in seconds) – incorporating original Ford Model A features, this is an extra-long wheelbase vehicle designed to provide elegant and exceptionally spacious transportation. Finished in Old English Cream & Blue livery to match Juliette, Silvy, Annie & Emily. Licensed for up to 7 passengers + driver. Frankly, seven is ‘snug’ and certainly if it were all rugby player types, they would struggle to fit in Tiggy! So, if you want to maximise her seating, we recommend that you come and see her. Equally good as the main bride/groom car or for a support party.

• Emily – ‘Imperial’ Landaulette Regal Limousine - (rear roof section opens in seconds) finished in English Cream & Blue to match Silvy, Annie, Juliette & Tiggy – fitted out with Royale cream buttoned leather trim interior - licensed for 6 passengers + driver. Equally good as the main bride/groom car or for a support party.

• Lilly & Milly – ‘Imperial’ Landaulette (rear roof section opens in seconds) finished in Ivory Cream with Black detailing plus ivory leather trim – licensed for 6 passengers + driver. Equally good as the main bride/groom car or for a support party.

• Belle – ‘Beauford’ Open Top Tourer – total fold down roof – finished in Old English Cream with Black detailing plus cream leather trim - licensed for 3 passengers + driver.

Nigel & his team have been professional, courteous, helpful and calming.....
“The first time we met Nigel to look at his Wedding cars, we knew we would be hiring from him. The cars were all lovely, he was lovely and so was his wife.

Nigel & his team have been professional, courteous, helpful and calming from booking our daughters wedding car to her Wedding day. Colin arrived promptly, introducing himself, helping out with flowers and making sure button holes were correctly pinned.
He was at all times helpful, putting everyone at ease, nothing was too much trouble.
The card and the sixpence was such a lovely thing to do, which our daughter loved.
The attention to detail by Nigel & his colleagues is second to none.

Our Daughter and Son in Law loved the car. Until it arrived Eloise was unaware what we had arranged for her. We were lucky with the weather so they were also able to have the roof down for a little while, which added a special touch.

We can not thank Nigel and Colin enough for making our Daughters Wedding Day that extra bit special.
You should be very proud of the service you offer.”

Vintage Dreams is a must have for your wedding.....
“Vintage Dreams is a must have for your wedding. Their service is exceptional and you have multiple choices for the day. From ribbon colour, to car selection, routes and internal additions. Nigel made the logistics extremely easy and no request was too big! The cars are immaculate and the photos came out beautifully with them in. Nigel also dressed to impress on the day and gave the service a real level of class fit for any wedding!
Even though our day was snowy and icy, the cars were safe and Nigel made sure we were safe to get on and off the vehicle. Honestly, I cannot recommend this service enough..“

The whole experience with Vintage Dreams was flawlessly excellent.....
“From the first visit to see the cars at Manningtree, to the ease of booking and administration, to the delight of my daughter upon receiving surprise card in the days before the wedding, as well as on the day itself, the whole experience with Vintage Dreams was flawlessly excellent. Nigel and team were a delight, the cars were much admired by the guests as well as the occupants and we could not have asked for more. So thank-you Vintage Dreams; if you are planning a special event and are reading this review, I cannot recommend them highly enough.“

We booked their cars Lilly & Milly and they were the perfect additions to our wedding day.....
“We booked Vintage Dreams after looking at their cars at a wedding fair in October 2020. We met with Nigel who was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. We booked their cars Lilly & Milly and they were the perfect additions to our wedding day. On the day of our wedding Nigel and the other driver arrived well ahead of time, they made sure we had our bottle of champagne in the car and they took photos of my bridesmaids & I, that he sent over to me the next day. The bridesmaids told me that they were able to connect their own music in the car too. We would recommend them to anyone!!
Thank you so much Nigel!.“

Brilliant personal service from start to finish.....

“Brilliant personal service from start to finish. Belle was a fantastic choice for our wedding and Nigel could not have been more helpful, especially when getting me and my dress safely into the car despite the sudden downpour. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was superb. It made our day truly stunning! We couldn’t rate Vintage Dreams highly enough. Thank you, Mr & Mrs Howard”
