WHITE DOLOMITE REQUIRED FOR WEDDING

#1 Post by Neilhigson83 »

I am due to get married in Clitheroe, Lancs, in April 2015.

For personal reasons, my fiancé would absolutely love to be driven to church in a White Triumph Dolomite.

Does anybody own / know anybody that owns, a White Triumph Dolomite?

Kind regards

:D
But it's not nice enough for a wedding car, and will be worse in a year!
My original was used for two weddings back in it's day.
Good luck.

If I paint mine white then I would be able to help. That gives me 12 months to get an MoT on the thing. One of my rear doors is already white (an experiment with some white gloss aerosols from the pound shop).

Steve Wilkes' recently restored white Sprint with leather interior...not too local to Clitheroe though!

Danny has a nice white Sprint in Wigan...but he might not want to put the miles on it...

Thank you for all of the replies.

I'm new on here, so trying to locate photos is difficult. If at all possible, you could email some to me at neilhigson(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk

In terms of the condition, we are aware that it may not be pristine, but as long as it keeps a dress clean in the back I am sure that will suffice!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Neil

Would you be willing to assist on Saturday 11th April 2015?

If so, if you could let me know what your charges would be, that would be great.

Kind regards

Well almost a year on and the wedding is over. Had a lovely day, weather stayed dry after a wet start. A lovely couple Hayley and Neil are. Here are a few pictures of the day around Chipping, Dunsop Bridge and Slaidburn.
