Motorcycle Escort for Dermot & Sue's Wedding


Dermot and Sue booked our Daimler for their 1960's themed wedding in High Wycombe yesterday. They are both keen bikers and heavily into vintage style, as well as owning a classic motor bike Dermot is restoring a classic American car to hot rod spec in his spare time.

The ceremony was held at Beaconsfield registry office and members of the couple's bikers club provided an 8 strong classic motor bike escort for the drive to the reception at Bledlow Ridge. It was quite a sight with 3 bikes up front and 5 behind making the kind of exhaust sound only classic bikes can for the 40 minute drive.

To cater for their guests in true vintage British style Dermot and Sue hired a mobile fish and chip wagon.

One of our Jaguars Makes a Cameo Appearance in Endeavour Episode

The first episode of the new series of Endeavour set in the 1960s and the prequal to the much loved Inspector Morse series aired this Sunday on ITV. 

In the first scene, which is an aerial shot of Broad Street in Oxford, our Morse look-a-like Jaguar MK2 can be spotted as one of two Jaguar MK2s resembling the original Morse Jaguar that were used in the scene. These little teasers are dropped in by the producers from time to time. For example the original Morse Jaguar made an appearance in the pilot episode of Endeavour, it was for sale in a second hand car lot visited by the young Morse as part of his investigation. Another regular is author of the Morse books, Colin Dextor. He often makes cameo appearances in the Morse, Lewis (the spin off series after Morse died) and Endeavour series.

One of the Jags can be seen bottom left the other is just out of shot bottom right
This car belongs to a musician friend of ours and is available for weddings through Henley Classic Car Hire. George the owner of the car was approached via the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club by the production company who were looking for cars similar to the original Morse Jaguar. In the original Morse series the Jag was driven by John Thaw who played Inspector Morse.

Available for your wedding
