Betsy is based near Watlington in Oxfordshire and is available and fully insured for weddings, with a standard charge of £250 for 4 ½ hours door to door and, bearing in mind that she consumes fuel at an astonishing 8 – 14 miles per gallon, depending on the traffic, there is a surcharge for distances of over 50 miles round trip, of 95p per mile. For longer events, allow a further £35 per half hour over 4 ½ hours.

 

With her bench front seat – which must be used whenever possible, just because you can! - she holds, at a squeeze, 7 bridesmaids plus the driver. So where distances are not too long, we can do two, or even 3, trips from home to church. She comes complete with cream satin ribbons and chilled Pannier pink Champagne (usually consumed after the service, although we can make exceptions!) is available at £19.00 for a half bottle or £30 for a bottle.

Betsy’s arrival at the opening of Planet Hollywood in London in the early ‘90s was announced as follows :- 

 

 

“ . . .  there were massive crowds awaiting the stars as they arrived in a succession of black limousines, when suddenly a loud cheer arose as a stunning yellow 1950’s convertible pulled into view.”
