Re live the 1970's 1960's vibes in this classic wedding car.

The timeless elegant quality of this classic Mercedes will provide a memorable wedding car hire.

This rare beautiful elegant car was originally owned by 1960's 1970's 'mellow yellow' pop icon Donovan and has had an interesting celebrity history. This model is one of the most expensive saloon cars Mercedes have made, and are still considered by many as their flagship saloon, with a classic shape.

During the time Donovan owned JMO 9K the car had a flamboyant time and was often driven from his home on the Wentworth Estate in Surrey. The car was also featured in a promotional video with Donovan where it is being driven down the Marylebone Road in London and has also been photographed next to the famous EUC 1OOC white Rolls-Royce once owned by the Beatles. George Harrison from the Beatles and Bobby Whitlock from Derek and the Dominoes have also travelled in this car amongst other celebrities. It can be seen that a cosmic wheels sticker Donovan stuck on the back of the front driver's seat is still there.

It took roughly two years to fully restore the car and too bring it into the world of classic wedding car hire. During this period spares were purchased from around the world to keep the originality. The car was then featured in a few magazines as well as mentions on radio stations Radio 2 and Capital Gold. JMO 9K has also been featured on the Mercedes Enthusiast calendar as well as being on display at Mercedes Benz World Brooklands Surrey, which is Mercedes Benz European Showroom. It is a wonder that this classic Mercedes car was still around to restore after its hard life especially as it was left outside in fields in the English weather for approximately five years sometime after Donovan sold it.

The 6.3 was a popular choice in its day by many celebrities and wealthy people, for its very smooth ride due to the powerful engine, self levelling air suspension and large amount of leg room in the rear. Longer rear doors mean that this car was built to be chauffeured in rather than drive yourself and the extra leg room makes it ideal for wedding and bridal use. The large sunroof also gives you the feeling of openness when fully retracted, the style and build quality being reminiscent of a past time. The car comes dressed in ribbons and a neutral colour flower spray on the rear parcel shelf. This rare 6.3 classic mercedes is classed as one of the best rare right hand drive models in existence.

Book this classic Mercedes wedding car to experience a rare chance of classic celebrity history.
