Lanchester Coupe de Ville
Vehicle Ref 374
About this vehicle:
This beautiful car from the fabulous fifties era is in a Turqouise shade of Blue and has a large two litre engine and can seat three passengers in comfort. It was the star at the 1951 Paris Motor Show and its tropical colour was chosen by its first owner Lady Docker, but this timeless classic never went in to full production so she really is a rare sight indeed. Even one of the most famous people in the world Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had to settle for a saloon version, which she still owns. Seen at many 1950’s film premieres with such stars as Audrey Hepburn, this Lanchester built by the combined Daimler-Lanchester company was one of the last of the Lanchesters to be built. This was the top of the range, a powerful automatic vehicle with a touch-button drop top power hood, ideal to reveal the famous occupants for photography and really quite unique in the 1950’s. This particular Lanchester is due to appear in some period films which are currently in production and due to be released in 2018-19.

Premier Carriage provided a professional service from start to finish. Jason rang me a few days before the wedding to run through the final details which put my mind at ease. On the day Jason arrived early for the journey head. Jason was dressed very smartly & the car was nice & clean, exactly as I had hoped. Thank you for providing a first class service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greg and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Continental II were excellent. Greg arrived early, the vehicle was in perfect condition and he provided brilliant service throughout the day. We will share other photos of the vehicle once available. We only have one for now.

Good afternoon, Gregory. Thank you so much for yesterday.
The car and your kindness made the day more magical for my parents. My dad (the groom) would not stop talking about the car which I do not blame him as it was amazing and he enjoyed chatting with you about the car. My mum (the bride) truly loved the experience of being in the car and it made her dreams come true.
Thank you again and hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
Kind regards, Jade R.
