A couple from the West Midlands have had their wedding transport prayers answered after putting an appeal in the Express and Star newspaper for a specific model of wedding car.
Groom-to-be Robert Baker fell in love with the iconic Bristol sports cars as a 10-year-old and has always dreamed of owning one. However the £50,000 + price tag was beyond his reach, and so the self-employed builder is yet to own his own Bristol, although he still clung onto the dream of travelling in one on his wedding day.
Ahead of his wedding to fiancée Carole Geary this spring, Mr Baker placed an ad in the newspaper to appeal to anyone with a Bristol car to see if they would consider lending their vehicle to the couple for their big day.
The appeal paid off, as Robert Hathaway, the proud owner of a 1968 Bristol 410 model, got in touch and offered his vintage ride to the couple for their wedding day transport.
As well as the classic 1968 Bristol car, Mr Hathaway also owns a 1955 Bristol 404 which he bought 40 years ago.
This story comes at a sad time for the iconic Bristol car manufacturers as it was revealed this month that the company has gone into administration. Bristol has been hand making cars in the UK since 1946 and has a reputation for producing high quality luxury cars.
Despite the unhappy news about the Bristol car makers, the happy couple from Wall Heath are looking forward to arriving at their big day this month in their own chauffeur driven Bristol wedding car.
