Jaguar wedding car hire

Jaguar: British elegance with a sporty edge

Jaguar comes from Coventry and stands for a blend of speed and refinement. The E-Type from the 1960s is regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever made, with its long bonnet and low profile. If you prefer something more relaxed, think of the classic saloons from the Mark series or the XJ: long, low cars with wood and leather, built for comfortable travel. The bonnet is often topped with the leaping jaguar.

As a wedding car, a Jaguar suits couples who want British style without the bulk of a large limousine. Pay attention to the differences between the models: an E-Type is low and cramped, lovely for a photo shoot but awkward with a full dress. A saloon has four doors and more room in the back. With classic English cars, it is worth asking about maintenance and how the rental company handles a breakdown on the way.

A classic Jaguar in British racing green, dark blue or silver looks its best at an estate, a golf club or a church in an old village centre. Choose simple decoration, such as a narrow ribbon across the bonnet. With a car that has such long, elegant lines, less often works better than more.

English wedding cars you can hire

There is no Jaguar on the site right now. These alternatives have a similar British look and feel:

• the Aston Martin Vantage, a sporty British two-seater;
• Rolls-Royce wedding cars, for those who want more space and stateliness;
• all English wedding cars together, from luxury saloons to small classics.

The selection changes throughout the year, so a Jaguar may still appear later.
