Porsche 356 Speedster Replica - Wedding day request ad

Yup - Rule #1 - Happy Wife, Happy Life.  You can see where owners are located here under MEMBERS BUT sure one will step forward and offer their car.  Heck, never know when you'll join the madness.  Be sure to follow up on your request by posting a picture of smiling bride in the car! (That's a rare (in US) right hand drive model in photo).

A Speedster replica covers both something NEW and something OLD!

Dear Wolfgang,

I wholeheartedly agree with you. And if my dream comes true, you can be sure I'll be posting a beautiful picture of my newly wed wife, myself and our wedding chariot!

Thanks for the wishes!

James

Your ad should be a little more specific as to what it is you want to do with it.  

Are you hoping the owner will let you drive off in it for the weekend while you have your photographer shoot lots of photos with the two of you? Or are you looking to have the car brought out to the photo shoot so the owner can watch as your photographer poses you and your lovely bride around and in the car?

I'm sure any vehicle owner would want some more details before they even considered calling you.

And I know all about Rule #1 I just celebrated my 27th anniversary.

An owner's insurance may have restrictions about loaning the car out for any length of time.  Hopefully you can get around that, but you need to be aware.

You bring up very good points. I kind of wanted to leave it up to the owner to decide what he/she would allow us to do, depending on how much he/she trusted us, or how liberal he/she felt about loaning it to complete strangers.

In an ideal world, I would love to have the car for the entire Saturday. Early Saturday afternoon for photos with the guys, drive it from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu to Montréal with my best man (brother) riding shotgun for photos along the way, dropping myself off at the church. He would then pick up the bride at the apartment 8 blocks away and drive her to the church. After the ceremony, we would love to make it the star, once again, for a photoshoot and drive to the Old Port of Montréal.

Of course, this is what I would love the most, but details and restrictions would be discussed with the owner.

I totally agree. I intend on phoning my insurance company early next week just to inquire about the details of such a transaction. I need to be able to be covered for whatever may happen (God forbid).

On the chance that you don't find a speedster....  A quick Google search found these folks with all sorts of  classic and exotic sports cars, located in Montreal

I actually offer mine as a rental for use in weddings and movies.

its been used in a movie scene and maybe some Playboy ummm...stuff.

on he West Coast so not sure if that helps but let me know.

Hi Art,

Yep, in Montréal, there are no shortage of limo companies, but new to me are companies that bridge owners with potential clients. I'll certainly give them a try and see what they have to offer, if I can't find what I'm looking for. 

AHhahah wow....I hope they paid for...cleaning.

Too bad you're 43 hours away.

You seem to have a beautiful example.

Most insurance companies have an issue with renting your car for a fee the same as they have for using your personal car for business use like delivery... I can just see it a speedster for a delivery vehicle. lol

So loan it to Snail and have him write a donation check to a good cause - you'd both be paying it forward and have some great memories with glossy photo to boot.  It's not like he's taking it to Summit Point Race Track!

Well Wolfgang, you seem to be ready to take a trip north up the coast and visit Canada  and be the special guest at a wedding in Old Montreal, then you could go north a few more hours to Old Quebec city, to my knowledge the oldest city in North America. Wow that would be a trip.. 

If you where here on Kauai I'd hook you up. Aloha!

My Speedster is a delivery vehicle.

Every time I drive it, it delivers a good time!!
