Default Wedding Cars Needed....PLEASE

I know this topic comes up often, but it so hard to find wedding cars that aren't BMW's, Rollers or Cadillacs.

I had lined up Mustangs through my dad's friend, but that fell through and things are getting desperate.

If you can help anyone with a XR6, 8 or GT (BA) models would be great.
Wedding is on Sunday 30th July...would be leaving from Moorebank (Liverpool) to got to Auburn Botanic Gardens and then on to the Holroyd Centre at Merrylands (Western Sydney BTW).

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I would love to help you out but your in NSW and i'm in WA. My TL50 would be great for you wedding.

Anyway if you need wedding cars then get in touch with your local state FPV/TICKFORD club and they'll be glad to help out!

Good Luck.

Used to do weddings in my white Range Rover (which I don't have any more). Now have a white (2 tone) Ford Territory if that helps.

Generally clubs have a contact that deals with wedding care hire through the club. They generally have set fee on a per hour basis for hiring club cars.

Just a long shot, but theres no club run for the nsw gt club that weekend, so if you contact the editor of the clubs website

[email protected]

and mention what you have at the top of the page you could get a few nice gt's, be it old or new, but they've got some great cars and are always out on the weekends.....

www.falcongtclubnsw.com is a nsw club, but most members are based in Sydney area.

mick.

I think it may have involved an early 19th century governor, some rum, and an ageing convict prostitute called Molly

Wheels are way to big, the front sits right up and the back sits down.
