Based near Leamington Spa, my beautiful Bentley S1 was built in 1955 and purchased by H E Sir Willoughby Norrie KCMG, CB, DSO. Governor General of New Zealand. The limousine was used as the Governor General's official car and was shipped back to the UK on his return.
This classic vehicle in Tudor Grey and light blue leather hide interior, acres of wood and deep-pile lambs wool over-rugs, is in mint condition, setting the tone and grandeur of a special wedding occasion, providing the wow factor for amazing photographs of your perfect day.
Providing a stunning look for your wedding, the four door Bentley provides room for up to 3 adults in the rear and 1 in the front. This classic vehicle does not have seatbelts since there was no requirement by law in 1955 when she was built.
A range of ribbons may be provided but the classic look is Ivory.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU CALCULATE THE MILEAGE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL JOURNEYS YOU REQUIRE ENTERING THEM INTO THE TRAVEL EXPENSES BOX ON THE BOOKING FORM. In addition calculate the hours you require to use the car accurately. The vehicle can carry a maximum of 4 passengers per trip. The quote generated allows for half an hour of photo opportunities. If you require more then you need to add how many additional hours you require for photographs at the point of booking. Thank you.

Ken was just great, a gentleman clearly loved the Bentley which we all feel privileged to have enjoyed on such a wonderful occasion. Arrived well early fully clean and polished car I couldn’t recommend Ken and his lovely Bentley more .
Thank you Ken .
The Bentley was an amazing experience with an amazing history being New Zealand’s former Governor General car. Ken was very professional with a call a week before our wedding to discuss the final details and was flexible to make two journeys to the venue with one journey for the groom and best man and another for bride and bridesmaids.
My only comment is to just to discuss directions if the location is slightly off the postcode.
It is such a beautiful car.
Beautiful car, Ken was amazing very friendly, supportive and patient. Very flexible in terms of contact with us to organise everything. Myself and my new wife would thoroughly recommend!
Before the day Ken made contact to ensure that all requirements were fully understood and explain what he would do on the day.
On the day Ken arrived in good time to ensure he could remove any specs of dust from the car so it was perfect.
At all times Ken was professional, friendly and helpful. The car was much admired and photographed by guests, with Ken providing full details of the car's history.
Both Ken and the car made a perfect contribution to our wedding day.
Thanks, Sheryl and Mike
An absolutely fabulous 5 hours spent with the charming Ken and his Bentley. From the moment the booking was confirmed I was kept updated via calls and texts/emails, and any queries were responded to immediately.
The whole experience was faultless, from the the immaculate condition of the Bentley, to the charming Ken, who went out of his way to ensure that every needs was taken care of.
Our special day was made even more special by this service……… l am going to book again in the future
We had a fabulous or should I say glamorous party which we really enjoyed very much and your beautiful car added to the occasion. I'd like to thank you for providing us with an excellent service. My friends and I were very impressed and pleased with your professionalism. You're smart, presentable, and very polite. I'd like to thank you for being patient with my requests e.g. changing pick-up time and number of passengers and you always telling me 'no problem'.
We really enjoyed 'our ride' in your very posh car coupled with your exemplary professionalism from start to finish of the service. I'll definitely recommend your services to my friends if ever they need it and to anyone else thinking of hiring your service. 5 stars!
Again, thank you ever so much.
Kind regards
Maria
We would like to thoroughly recommend Ken to anyone wanting a car for their special event. What a wonderful, exceptional service he provided! Our daughter and her partner had an absolutely amazing time on their journey with him. They loved chatting to him, he made them feel very comfortable and relaxed and contributed to making the days wonderful memories. The service Ken provides is brilliant from start to finish, from contacting us re arrangements to service, punctuality and professionalism on the day. Thank you so, so much Ken.
We could not fault the service provided by Ken and his beautiful classic Bentley. This was a surprise for our daughter, and you made all of our wishes come true Ken!! The icing on the cake was allowing their little Cockapoo Fido have a ride as well - you truly could not have made the day any more special. I cannot thank you, or recommend your services highly enough - thanks again Ken.
We hired Ken and his car for our wedding at Shrewsbury Castle in August. Ken was so thorough leading up to the wedding. He he was kind and friendly to our two small children who travelled with us and the car was absolutely beautiful! Thank you Ken. Will upload a pic when we get them! Viki & Anthony
Ken was absolutely amazing! We had to postpone our wedding twice because of COVID and Ken was very accommodating. The champagne was divine and went down very well! The car looked beautiful and the ride was super smooth. Highly recommend Ken and this service.
A big thank you to Ken, the supplier and driver of the Bentley S1. The car was immaculate and stunning. Ken was polite, friendly, attentive, accommodating and made us feel special for the time we spent with him. Highly recommended.
Ken was outstanding throughout the whole process from booking to the day. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to rearrange our wedding to which ken was more than accomodating assisting us with the re booking process. The day before our wedding we were informed our Venus had flooded but had been provided with another venue at the last minute to which again Ken was outstanding and happily assisted getting us too the next venue. The Bentley itself is immaculate and expertly driven at all times. I would highly recommend ken to anyone. Thanks again to Ken for making our day even more perfect.
I booked the Bentley not really knowing how everything would go. I have to say Ken was absolutely great and nothing was too much trouble The car was amazing and my father inlaw loved every minute thank you
We received an absolutely fantastic service from Ken from the moment of booking all the way to our wedding day. We got married in October 2020 which mean't we were heavily impacted my changing restrictions but Ken was always willing to accommodate and ensure our day ran as smoothly as possible!
On top of the fantastic service we received from Ken, his beautiful vintage Bentley was absolutely amazing! It was such a luxury on our wedding day.
We are still waiting on the majority of pictures from our photographer but here is one of me getting out of the car at our venue!
Thank you again Ken!

The service we received from Ken was first class. From the moment we booked until Ken arrived with his lovely vintage Bentley the experience was excellent.
Ken communicated regularly with us in the run up to our big day and was punctual and accommodating during our big day.
Would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a thoroughly professional wedding car service.
Wow, amazing car that looked even better than pics. Ken was excellent and would thoroughly recommend.

What an absolutely amazing service! Ken was fantatsic - so attentive and calm and nothing was too much trouble! The Bentley is absolutely beautiful and it was an amazing way to get to and from our wedding.
Thanks so much for everything - would highly recommend Ken and his gorgeous car!
There few wedding cars in the area that have better appeal, or indeed, providence.
From our venue to the church and back again, a round trip of some 50 miles, we were effortlessly cossetted behind Crewe's finest and the thrum of its straight-six engine, surrounded in leather and wood, adorned in a gorgeous smell that only an old car can make. A true thrill of the senses for your big day.
Ken was amazing and really looked after us, being both thoughtful, skilled, communicative and on the day, faultless.
From start to finish, Ken and his Bentley S1 are truly First-class.
You're in for a treat.
Ken was very organised before our wedding day and kept us well informed of the timings. On the day the car looked perfect, Ken was early so arrived in plenty of time, allowing us to have a stress free day. The car is beautiful and allowed us many beautiful photos. Thank you Ken.
"We were all so impressed with Ken and the Bentley. The service was impeccable and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Couldn't recommend highly enough
Thank you!

"ken was amazing very kind and patient, lovely car.
Perfect in every way"
Ken was a very considerate chauffeur, taking time to understand our needs. He has a lovely vintage Bentley that previously served as a diplomatic car in New Zealand, as such it has a a short flag mast on the roof that Ken allowed us to use for a pennant relevant to the wedding
"Excellent service! Ken called days before my wedding to confirm the details and turned up on time with a gleaming car. He got my toddler son, and I to my wedding safely and on time, and back to the hotel afterwards.
He was courteous, held the door and my flowers to help me get in and out of the car and all with a smile. Would heartily recommend to anyone. Thank you Ken x"
Ken and his beloved Bentley made our wedding day even more special. Ken is the ultimate gentleman and turned up with plenty of time to spare so we had one less thing to worry about on the big day. The car is gorgeous and looked great in the photos, as well as being a very pleasant ride. It's clear Ken takes great pride in looking after the car and must spend a great deal on the upkeep. Ken provided us with a cooler and glasses for a bottle of champagne as we drove to the reception and gave us plenty of time to pose for pictures. I cannot recommend Ken and the Bentley highly enough!!
Ken was an absolute gentleman. At very short notice he came to our wedding the car was totally awesome and the guests thought it was a beautiful touch can’t wait to see the video with it coming up the drive. It added a touch of sophistication to our most wonderfully fairy tale perfect day xx thank you from both my husband and I from the bottom of our hearts xx
Thanks so much for helping to make Rachaels wedding day very special indeed. The car was just perfect, the epitome of luxury, a wonderful experience and of course the chauffeur was the perfect gentleman.
What a way to arrive at my wedding in style! The Bentley is the epitome of class and sophistication, expertly, safely and confidently driven by Ken who must by one of the most charming chauffeurs available! Ken was wonderful through all the preparations and accommodated all our needs to help make our day run smoothly. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks for bringing the elegance to the day!
