The Spitfire: small, British and open
If you were hoping for a Triumph Spitfire, you will not find one in our current selection. This small British sports car was built from the early 1960s until 1980 and was styled by the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. One distinctive detail is the bonnet, which tilts forward in one piece together with the wings. It is an open two-seater with a fabric roof, low and compact, with a sporty but friendly look.
As a wedding car, the Spitfire suits a couple who want to keep things small and personal. Driving to the ceremony together in an open car creates a relaxed, cheerful mood, and it looks playful in photos. Space is limited, though: with two people on board the car is full, and a full-skirted dress is difficult to fit into the narrow cabin.
Small open classics you can hire
The Mini Cooper is a British classic with the same compact size and often an open roof, and it offers more room for passengers. If you are looking for an open sports car from the same era with a slightly more elegant shape, take a look at the Porsche 356, one of the most popular classic wedding cars.
All cars with a roof that opens, from small roadsters to spacious four-seaters, can be found under convertibles. With a small open classic, agree in advance how the car will get to your venue, because some rental companies prefer to bring it on a trailer rather than drive it a long distance.
Frequently asked questions
Will a full wedding dress fit in a small British sports car?
It will be a squeeze. A Spitfire has a narrow cabin and low seats. A softly flowing or short dress fits perfectly well, but a big skirt or long train will need to be folded up quite a bit. With the roof down, getting in is a little easier. If you have a full dress, choose a roomier convertible with four seats.
Why is a small classic car sometimes brought in on a trailer?
Small old cars are not built for long journeys on the motorway. To spare the car and make sure it arrives on time and in good condition, some rental companies bring it on a trailer to somewhere near your venue. On the wedding day itself, you then travel just the short, scenic stretches in it.
Which route is the prettiest for an open wedding car?
Choose country roads alongside water, dykes, woods or tree-lined avenues, and avoid busy roads and motorways. A short route with a photo stop at a beautiful spot often gives you more than a long drive. Check with the photographer and the rental company where the car can stop.
How do we keep our hair looking good in a convertible?
Drive slowly, keep the journey short and ask your hairdresser for a firmly set style or a veil that stays securely in place. Some brides travel the first stretch with the roof up and only put it down for the arrival or the photos. A scarf or a small mirror in the car also helps.
