Norwich Cathedral was founded in 1096, Elm Hill preserves a medieval streetscape of timber-framed buildings, and the Maids Head Hotel has hosted guests since the thirteenth century — making it the oldest hotel in the United Kingdom. This depth of heritage demands an arrival that matches. Our vintage fleet includes the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, Bentley S-Type, and Jaguar E-Type — each maintained to concours standard and presented with uniformed chauffeur, ribbon dressing in your chosen colour, and complimentary champagne toast. With Blickling Estate's Jacobean grandeur 15 miles north and Holkham Hall's Palladian perfection 30 miles along the coast, Norwich and Norfolk offer a concentration of historic venues that few English counties can rival. Vintage car hire in Norwich is available on application, with the Jaguar E-Type starting from £695 per day.
Our Norwich vintage collection comprises motor cars from the golden age of British coachbuilding, each selected for its authenticity alongside Norfolk's exceptional concentration of historic architecture. The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is the cornerstone — a larger, more commanding presence than the later Silver Shadow, with flowing front wings, a broader radiator grille, and a cabin of hand-stitched leather and polished walnut that epitomises 1950s Crewe craftsmanship. The Silver Cloud's silhouette against the Norman archways of Norwich Cathedral or the Palladian columns of Holkham Hall creates a visual harmony — two expressions of excellence from different centuries, united in a single photograph. Pricing is available on application. The Bentley S-Type shares the Silver Cloud's Crewe platform with a subtly sportier character — handcrafted walnut dashboard, deep-pile Wilton carpets, and a rounded silhouette that photographs beautifully against the Jacobean brickwork of Blickling Estate or the medieval flint of Norfolk's village churches. Pricing is available on application. The Jaguar E-Type Roadster brings open-top drama for summer occasions — described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car ever made, and the E-Type in British Racing Green with tan leather remains a visual statement that few vehicles from any era can match. The E-Type is available from £695 per day for dry-weather bookings between May and September. We also carry a Daimler DS420 Limousine — the ceremonial vehicle of choice for royal and state occasions, seating four rear passengers in formal comfort with division glass and fold-down occasional seats. Every vintage vehicle is presented with uniformed chauffeur, ribbon dressing, complimentary champagne toast, and delivery anywhere in Norfolk. Each vehicle carries a comprehensive breakdown recovery package and a backup vehicle guarantee for wedding-day bookings.
“"The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the perfect car for our Norwich Cathedral wedding. It arrived through the Erpingham Gate into Cathedral Close looking utterly magnificent — the chrome, the Spirit of Ecstasy, the ivory ribbon against the silver paintwork. The photographer said it was the best wedding car arrival she had captured all year. The chauffeur helped with my dress at every step."”
, — Charlotte L., Bride, Norwich Cathedral
Norwich Cathedral (1096, Norman), Elm Hill (Tudor), the Maids Head Hotel (13th century), Blickling Estate (Jacobean, 1616), and Holkham Hall (Palladian, 1764) — each venue represents a distinct architectural era. Our vintage fleet is curated to complement these settings. A Silver Cloud from the 1950s arriving at a Norman cathedral is not an anachronism — it is two pinnacles of craft separated by centuries, brought together with intention. We advise on period-appropriate vehicle pairings as part of every booking consultation.
Every vintage vehicle in our Norwich fleet is maintained to concours condition — chrome polished, paintwork clay-barred and waxed, leather conditioned, and carpets shampooed before each booking. On wedding days, the car is prepared the morning of the ceremony, dressed with ribbon and flowers to match your colour scheme, and presented to the bride at least 15 minutes before the planned departure.
Vintage vehicles are mechanically honest but occasionally temperamental. For every wedding booking in Norwich, we designate a backup vehicle of equivalent standard — ready, ribboned, and crewed — within 30 minutes of your ceremony venue. In over five years of operation, the backup has been deployed once. But it exists because your wedding day cannot accommodate uncertainty.
The car arrives at your chosen address. Collected when you're finished. No queues, no counter.
Comprehensive cover in every arrangement. Nothing additional to purchase. Confirmed in writing before delivery.
Enquire and manage your arrangement entirely via WhatsApp. No hold music. Response within the hour.
Nothing more required.
Bridal transfer from home or hotel to ceremony at Norwich Cathedral, a Norfolk village church, or one of the county's historic chapels — our vintage vehicles cover the full wedding day. The Silver Cloud and Bentley S-Type are dressed with ribbon in your chosen colour, and our chauffeur coordinates timings directly with the wedding planner or venue coordinator.
Stately Home Receptions
Blickling Estate, Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall, and Oxburgh Hall — Norfolk's stately homes provide reception settings that deserve a vehicle arrival of equal distinction. The Silver Cloud sweeping up the Holkham avenue or the Bentley S-Type crunching across Blickling's gravel courtyard creates the first impression that sets the tone for the entire celebration.
Anniversary Celebrations
A Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud collecting a couple from their Norwich home for a Silver or Golden Wedding anniversary dinner at the Assembly House or Dunston Hall recreates the romance of their original wedding day — and for anniversaries where the original car was a Rolls-Royce or Jaguar, the nostalgia is deeply personal.
Norfolk Broads Scenic Drives
A two-hour afternoon drive through the Norfolk Broads in a Jaguar E-Type Roadster — roof down, lanes winding through Wroxham, Hoveton, and Ranworth — is available as a standalone experience from May to September. A memorable gift for birthdays, Father's Day, or retirement celebrations.
Film, Photography & Editorial
Our vintage fleet is available for editorial shoots, period film production, and commercial photography across Norfolk. The E-Type on Elm Hill, a Silver Cloud in Cathedral Close, or a Bentley S-Type at Blickling — these vehicles in these settings create imagery that lifestyle brands, wedding publications, and heritage organisations consistently seek. Half-day and full-day static hire rates available.
Four steps from enquiry to your vintage arrival.
WhatsApp us or request a quote online with your date, occasion, preferred vehicle, and pickup location. For weddings, include your ceremony and reception venues so we can plan the route, timings, and period-appropriate vehicle pairing.
We encourage viewing before booking — see the Silver Cloud, Bentley S-Type, or Jaguar E-Type in person at our preparation facility. Inspect the condition, sit in the rear cabin, and confirm the vehicle matches your vision. Viewings are by appointment.
A 30% deposit by bank transfer secures the vehicle and date. The balance is due four weeks before the event. Ribbon colour, route preferences, and any specific photographic requirements are confirmed at this stage. Wedding bookings include our backup vehicle guarantee at no extra cost.

“"Booked the Jaguar E-Type for our 25th wedding anniversary — a drive through the Broads from Norwich to lunch in Horning, roof down, the sun out, and the lanes empty. The car was immaculate in British Racing Green, the engine note was wonderful, and the route through Wroxham and Ranworth was beautiful. My wife said it was better than the honeymoon."”
“"We hired the Bentley S-Type for our daughter's wedding at Blickling Estate. The car arriving along the avenue, the red brick of Blickling behind it, the chauffeur opening the door — it was the moment the entire day felt real. The walnut dashboard, the leather, the chrome — extraordinary condition. Genuinely faultless from start to finish."”
