This stunning classic automobile from the early 70’s has been completely restored inside and out and is in pristine condition. This is a real icon of the era and with it’s coke bottle lines is very retro and being the early model it has the sloping dashboard.

This particular car has been used in magazine advertising and is now a very desirable mode of transport since it was immortalised in such TV series as Minder, Life on Mars, The Sweeney and The Professionals although it is in much better condition than the one used by ‘Onslow’ in Keeping up Appearances – Hyacinth Bucket [bouquet] would be proud !

I hired an Aston Martin for my husband as a surprise on for our wedding day and our experience was absolutely fantastic. The team were incredibly accommodating from start to finish. I had to make multiple changes to the booking and they were always patient, flexible and helpful.The price was very reasonable for such a luxury car and the service we received.On the day itself, the car arrived promptly and right on time, which really helped everything run smoothly and kept stress levels low. The Aston Martin was in immaculate condition, beautifully presented, clean, and truly added something special and memorable to the day. It looked amazing in photos and made the journey feel extra special for my husband.I would highly recommend this service to any couple looking for stylish, reliable, and professional wedding car experience. Thank you, Adrian, for helping make our wedding day perfect! Kathryn & james
