Oakland, 40hp Tourer, Grey

Step into a world of timeless sophistication with the Oakland 40hp Tourer, a vehicle that transforms a simple journey into a cinematic experience. The soft, refined grey palette acts as the perfect neutral canvas, creating a breathtaking contrast against the brilliant white of a bridal gown. As you arrive, the sweeping, graceful fenders offer a magnificent frame for your bridal portraits, ensuring that your first appearance is not merely an entrance, but a statement of unrivaled elegance.

The look and presence

The Oakland 40hp Tourer is a masterclass in early 20th-century craftsmanship. With its stately stature, authentic wooden-spoke wheels, and gleaming brass accents, it evokes the romance of a bygone era. The exterior, finished in a sophisticated grey, is expertly complemented by deep black accents and refined pinstriping, while the ceremonial presentation—adorned with delicate white ribbons and florals—signals to every onlooker that this is a day of profound significance.

Comfort and fit

Designed for an intimate and luxurious atmosphere, this Tourer comfortably accommodates four passengers. The interior is finished in deep, button-tufted black leather upholstery that exudes opulence, providing a comfortable, wide, and airy seating experience. The open-top configuration ensures that you remain the focal point, allowing for effortless photos and the gentle breeze of your special day to accompany you on your route.

Special features and moments

Beyond its striking aesthetic, the Oakland 40hp Tourer is a true conversational piece. The open-air design invites a 'paparazzi moment' at every turn, perfect for documenting your transition from single life to wedded bliss. Its high vantage point ensures that you remain visible and celebrated, while the authentic vintage engineering promises a distinctive, rhythmic presence that commands attention at any venue entrance.

Best suited styles and venues

This vehicle is the quintessential choice for vintage-inspired weddings, garden ceremonies, and classic country estate receptions. It is particularly striking when framed against the stone walls of a historic church or the sweeping drive of a grand manor house. Whether you are hosting a rustic-luxe affair or an intimate, high-fashion celebration, the Oakland provides an effortless, stately charm that elevates any setting.

Timing and setup details

To ensure your day proceeds with seamless grace, we recommend scheduling an arrival window at least 30 minutes before your departure to allow for final floral adjustments and photographic opportunities. The ceremonial ribbons are pre-installed by our professional team, ensuring the vehicle is ready for its close-up the moment it pulls into your venue.

Absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. A real privilege to actually sit in such a car. Everyone that went to the wedding felt highly privileged and honoured. Emasculate and a well loved car. Thankyou for making our woodland wedding extra special. We would highly recommend your company to anyone looking for that extra special moment.

I only booked this car at the last minute since the original arrangement had fallen through. Chris was great at communicating, calling me a few days before the wedding and again texting me on the day to give lots of reassurance. It's a beautiful car, extremely well maintained and practically gleaming. All the wedding guests commented how nice it was and the bride and groom loved having some time and Ieisure to talk to each other after the ceremony. I would definitely recommend Chris and his car, he made that part of the day very special.
