AEC Regal III
Vehicle Ref 864
About this vehicle:
This beautifully restored 1948 AEC Regal III single-decker bus brings an unmistakable touch of post-war charm to any wedding. With its elegant cream and green two-tone livery, sweeping curved bodywork and distinctive 1940s front grille, it’s a real showpiece that looks fantastic in photographs outside period manor houses, barns and traditional church settings.
Inside, the coach provides comfortable seating for up to 33 passengers, making it ideal for transporting the bridal party, close family or groups of guests between venues. Via a front sliding door and a step up you enter the interior which retains its original vintage warmth, with period-style cloth seating in green colour mixes, and large windows that give everyone a wide, bright view during the journey.
The AEC Regal III is a true British transport icon. First introduced in the late 1940s, it quickly became renowned for its smooth ride, reliability and timeless styling. Many served on regional and rural routes throughout the UK, and surviving examples — especially ones from the 1940s — are now extremely rare. This fully restored model captures the spirit of classic British coaching and adds a wonderfully nostalgic feel to your wedding day.
For weddings in Walsall, Birmingham, Coventry, Warwickshire and across the West Midlands, this delightful 1948 Regal III offers both charm and practicality. Whether it’s used as guest transport or simply as a beautifully unique backdrop for photos, it brings personality, heritage and a memorable vintage touch to your celebration.

Glynne was brilliant on our wedding day. He arrived early, immaculately turned out and the car spotless. It felt so special arriving in a Rolls-Royce. Glynne took us for a drive after the wedding and was super accommodating whilst we took some pictures with the car. Thank you.

Beautiful car as described. It arrived earlier than expected which meant there was no stress waiting for it. Driver was very friendly and helpful. We had 5 people in the car and had plenty of room even with a large wedding dress. It was lovely to arrive at the venue with the top down. All in all so glad we chose this car and service.
