Hi Everyone!

I have had, shall we say an unusual request sent through to the membership e-mail!

Being a close knit community and all very friendly i was wondering if anyone could help this chap out:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there.

My future wife used to have a bronze Mk1 GLS Auto back when I first
met her and it is still her most beloved and missed vehicles.

We are marrying next year and I need to know if anybody would be
willing to hire out a similar car for the 4 mile trip from her house
to the church.

Kind regards, Andy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andy lives in Kettering, Northants and would need the car for a short trip to the church around 4 miles away

He's obviously happy to cover costs and arrange fully comprehensive insurance

So over to you guys!

Will.

I have my MK 1 on a fairly stringent insurance policy, the insurers always ask ' you will not be loaning/hiring for special occasions - weddings etc?'. I guess most other owners could be in the same boat, hence not many replies. Not much help I'm afraid but maybe some way towards an explanation..

As per Wills add on this person is willing to pay additional insurance to cover for the day,so you are covered for a wedding. If you do it for free it should not count as reward or hire for a wedding. He's after a bronze car, nothing Alpine white!
I'm sure somebody on here could help with this request.

Hopefully someone can help,

I don't think it necessarily has to be bronze, as per the post, something similar will do

:-)

Thanks for the replies

I hope some can help near to you, I used mine as my wedding car so I had to finish it and get it MOT after 10 years restoring it!
It was a little tricky getting my wife's dress into the car and I had to drive as I would not want to sit in the back.
Some pictures from my wedding day.

I even manned to get some ribbon printed, I took the car off the road just before I met my wife.

Gave us something to talk about.

Ok just wondered, may be able to help depending when it is if the right colour doesn't come up for them.

Mines a little on the brown side of bronze lol
