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.

Daniel and his taxi were completely perfect! He arrived in plenty of time and was very patient while I was running around outside the flat! He was knowledgeable, polite and very calm. The taxi was exactly as pictured with beautiful ribbons and spotless inside. Thank you for offering such a brilliant service.

From start to finish, these guys were amazing! We hired 2 x Routemaster buses for our transport to and from our venue for our annual company event, and our staff just adored them! They made such a big impact and kick started our day off perfectly! Not to mention, they were incredibly helpful when sorting the personalised signage for the front of each bus. Would definitely book again, and highly recommend!

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!
