Oakland Model 40 Tourer
Vehicle Ref 248
About this vehicle:
A magnificent and very rare Oakland Model 40 Tourer dating back to 1912, being one of only eight known of this model that are still in existence. This Edwardian car can act as a sophisticated backdrop to your wedding photographs alongside providing an elegant form of transport for the big day.
This most imposing and powerful car is superbly presented in Silver Grey livery with red coach lining and black wings. Upholstery is in deep-buttoned black leather and the car is equipped with a fully enveloping hood, a folding brass windscreen and coach lamps, hickory spoke wheels with running boards on both sides for easier entry and exit.
The Oakland Tourer is an open sided convertible so can be used with the roof fully down as a full convertible or the roof closed with the sides open which will offer protection from above.
The only thing missing to make this a ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ style of car is wings and you could then fly to the ceremony. In the meantime the chauffeur will glide you to the ceremony at a serene pace at ground level. As with all open sided tourers a little wind from the side should be considered. A beautiful and elegant vehicle from the golden era of transportation.

We booked our wedding routemaster bus through premier. The booking process was smooth and the price was good compared to other companies that we researched. Our driver (Steve) and his team on the day were amazing, very professional and went above and beyond. I cannot fault the actual team who provided the bus.

We hired our wedding car through Adrian and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The car was beautiful and absolutely spotless.
Adrian was accommodating, kind and easy to chat with which made the journey feel even more special.
Thank you, Adrian! Ella and Matthew

Amazing service and experience with Premier Carriage but also John on the day! The car was exactly what we wanted and John was a calming force on the day that is just what you need in the whirlwind of weddings! Would highly recommend.

Both Didier and Peter were great to work with. The details were clarified with Didier and once passed to Peter, we had 2 phone calls ahead of the wedding to ensure everything was correct. Peter arrived promptly to pick the Bride up prior to the ceremony and was happy to take a slightly longer route to fit our timings better. The car was lovely and we had a great chat with Peter on the way to our reception, he was very friendly. Everything ran smoothly, we would 100% recommend to friends and family. The car was a big talking point for the rest of the day, and still now!

Excellent service. Came on time and the car was immaculate. Unfortunately the weather wasnt on our side and we couldn't take any photos with the car. I would highly recommend Premier Carriage for a wedding car hire.

David, supported by his wife provided us not only with an enjoyable drive from the church to our reception but also excellent photos of our first moments as husband and wife. David also kindly stayed to give numerous rides to our friends and family along with fantastic photos of them in the process too!

Our chauffeur was fantastic, really put us all at ease especially with a lot of morning wedding nerves. He was prompt and very professional, we loved being in the Rolls Royce. Thank you so much!
