Franklin 147 Saloon Special
Vehicle Ref 128
About this vehicle:
This amazing American Vintage car in Devon is very rare indeed and after spending it’s early life in the USA it went to Canada to be fully restored, and now there are only 11 left in the world with this particular car being the only one left in europe so if you want your wedding transport to be unique then this Franklin should top the list.
The engine in the Franklin is actually an aeroplane engine although we are assured your chauffeur will keep strictly to the roads on the way to the ceremony venue, although the Bride may have her head in the clouds ! With it’s wide band whitewall tyres and hickory spoked wheels this vintage car is truly a little bit of American history.
You will definitely be noticed in this head turning automobile. Although a rare car we actually have a matching pair of these Franklins if two are required.

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!
