Bentley Franay Convertible

About this vehicle:

This beautiful and very rare Bentley ‘Franay’ convertible based in Surrey is a real head turner.   This drophead coupe was featured on the Franay Stand at the Paris Motor Show in 1951. The distinctive sweeping swage down its flanks, hugging the trailing edge of the rear wheel arches, shows the lines of this car superbly. The bodywork is in Ivory with a Rich Brown hood and the interior features a walnut dashboard and Champagne coloured leather seats with burgundy piping. 

Franay was a French coachbuilder of renown who dressed prestigious car chassis such as Bentley, Delage, Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce. After World War II Franay built the Talbot-Lago Grand Sport and in 1955 President René Coty’s ceremonial car, a Citroën Traction Avant.   For the Bride & Groom who require their transport to be different, and very rare, this has to be the one.

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.

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.

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!
