**Flash!!** My dream, budget busting car!

So, I'm getting married on a bit of a budget, have so far compromised with my dress (£100 from eBay, but it is stunning!) Doing all my own invites, favours, centrepieces etc. We have a caterer who does an all inclusive package, including our meal for 80, buffet, cake, limos for 2 runs on the day, flowers, MC, bar etc! My wonderful OH managed to save us £200 on our band. So.... today I was looking at wedding cars, Id be happy in the limo but OH is saying no! and I found this!!


It is £399, but I have emailed the company as I only need it for one run (getting married and reception in same place) and its on a Wednesday!

So its taken me over budget but right now I am so in love with it, I'd rather eat beans on toast for the next year Smiley laugh

Just thought I'd share! Opinions welcome Smiley heart x

    Lush. It wouldn't have fitted with my style of wedding - we ended up with "executive taxis" instead of a proper car - but before deciding on taxis, we were looking at Mustangs, etc. Any car that is a bit out of the ordinary is fine by me!

    I absolutely love it.

    Shame not many others will see it because the ceremony and reception is all in one place and you only need it to take you there, as it's a fab car!

    OH wants a budget busting car. It's £350 at least i think and he's only getting it from a hotel to the venue.

    Oh that is lovely- my heart just skipped a beat! I really love this style of car. My dad was trying to get me a thunderbird and couldn't and has got me something else (but it's a surprise).

    My opinion is- when else would you be able to travel in something like this?

    Update!! Emailed the lovely chap at the showroom and he is giving me full hire with a 10% discount. Its not much but its money in our pocket Smiley laugh I also checked our budget, and I had budgeted for a limo, but as the package included one, Im only £135 over budget. OH has said that he really wants me to have it so we're gonna book it!! Yay!!!

    Love Love Love that car !! ?

    My OH owns a 1970 mustang and he has done a couple of weddings with it this year although I do think it was used as the groom's transport on both occasion.

    The other love of his life -

    I'm so glad that you got the car for not an awful lot more than you budgeted!

    Also, I've had a look at your dress... beautiful! What a bargain too!!
