Wedding Car

Postby Irving » 12 Feb 2014, 19:14

My daughter's getting married later this year and we're struggling to find a WAV for me and her to go to the ceremony in. We tried a vintage Asquith taxi but once I'm in there there's no room for the bride :(

The next best is a Mercedes Vito but its not clear if a Invacare Spectra Plus will fit. Its ramped side entry, but not obvious how I'd turn to end up rear facing. Anyone have any experience of these?

No, but that looks like it could be OK. Just make sure you test beforehand. Where about and when about is it needed?

Go up backwards.

This one's in Surrey, there's another in Essex, neither are particularly convenient to get to try out. Needed in July

Two things to bear in mind...
1. Never underestimate how much room wedding dresses take up, and their ability to automatically wipe the grease off anything mechanival with ten paces.
2. Use an experienced wedding car driver. I have seen dumb amateur drivers approach our local church from the wrong direction so the bride ends up getting out on the road side, instead of the pavement side!! No forward planning or thought!
