Hi there - I really hope you don't mind me joining the forum solely for the purposes of this post but a colleague said I might be best off trying here..

I am getting married in June in Oxfordshire and I am looking to travel to my barn wedding in a Defender (green if possible!). It's about an hour journey from my house (Berkshire). I'm not after one of these hugely fancy shiny vintage cars, just a green defender will do - so long as it's clean on the inside!

If anyone knows of someone in the Berkshire area who has a landrover defender who'd be up for helping us out (obviousy we will pay!) please get in touch.

Thanks in advance!

Aren't they all white/silver?

Shb but you'll need ya own insurance.

I think that the plan is to 'borrow' one off a member of this forum as opposed to hiring one

Strangely enough I was in a Funeral Directors office yesterday and found you can have a Defender Hearse if you like!

A specially converted 2012 110 CSW no less......

To be fair to him it's a reasonable request... he's offering money, not expecting someone to hand over the keys, but, to drive him... if you're in the area for a few hours work it helps out a landy fan and earns a bit of pocket money.

Mine's Corris Grey though so not much use

Oldfogey · Jan 14, 2015

Be aware that your insurance is unlikely to cover hiring, whoever is driving. Though giving you a bottle of good malt whisky in return for the favour would be OK.

Yeah it's a fair request, good little earner for someone I would think. Although think only an hour away needs to be clarified into miles

goonarmy · Jan 14, 2015

Or just rent a car like everybody else. Shb still the options.

Discokids · Jan 14, 2015

I've just remembered that I actually own a green 110 station wagon. It will need towing though. About 2 hours each way. And putting back together.

She.. I'm the bride

Well it was a long shot and you don't get if you don't ask so was worth asking in my opinion.

I hadn't even thought about insurance to be fair. Our wedding is a pretty informal do, a friend doing our vows and getting married on a farm.

I'm not intent on hiring a big old glamorous classic car was just after a defender because I really like them

Nervermind anyway,thanks for thoughts and replies

goonarmy · Feb 11, 2015

Shb is still the answer.

cjane · Feb 11, 2015

Yeah you mentioned it a couple times already, have looked into it but not really what I had in mind. Will ask at my local. Thanks anyway

goonarmy · Feb 11, 2015

They rent defenders and classics too

Don't give up yet, try some of the local off roading club forums as well as here.

But as it's your wedding day are you sure a defender is the right vehicle, I know it's expected that the bride turns up late, but their not meant to be covered in oil after fixing the wedding car o the way
