About this vehicle:

This beautifully presented 1959 Guy Arab Burlingham Seagull coach, finished in a classic two-tone pastel yellow and green livery, brings unmistakable 1950s elegance to your wedding day. With its flowing Seagull bodywork, twin-windscreens, chrome detailing and large panoramic windows, it’s a real head-turner and looks fantastic outside period manor houses, barns and countryside venues.

 

Inside, the coach offers comfortable seating for up to 41 passengers, making it ideal for transporting larger groups of family and friends together. The interior retains its authentic mid-century charm, complete with vintage cloth seating in warm colour tones and spacious visibility throughout — perfect for guests to enjoy the journey as part of the celebration.

 

First built in the late 1950s, the Burlingham Seagull body became iconic across the UK. Known for its distinctive curved styling and smooth ride, the Seagull was considered one of the most stylish luxury coaches of its era. Paired with the robust Guy Arab chassis, these coaches served British operators for decades. Today, surviving examples are rare, and having one beautifully restored and available for wedding hire adds something truly unique to your wedding day travel.  This 1959 Seagull isn’t just transport; it becomes part of the day.

 

Whether you’re moving guests between venues or creating a memorable backdrop for your wedding photos, its retro charm, elegant colours and historic character make it a standout choice for couples wanting something unique, and full of personality.

We booked this wonderful car for our wedding in South Wales and were over the moon with the car itself and the excellent service provided by our driver, Darren. Throughout the enquiry and booking process Premier Carriage were responsive and always available to answer our questions. Prior to the wedding we both agreed an itinerary and any extra details so that we wouldn’t miss any photos opportunities and everything ran smoothly on our big day. Would really recommend using a Premier Carriage car on your big day and a huge thanks to Darran our driver!
