All the best Ferreter Turbos are £700.

Had a 3 month old Citroen CX 2.2 GTi Turbo as my wedding car back in the mid 80's-I was fascinated by the dashboard in that one.

Something more expensive was used on my last wedding though-a bus and an underground train.......

Surely it had bog-standard Peugeot dials if it was a Turbo, even a Series 1? The one above is a GTi, no turbo. And quite an early one at that, possibly even 1977.

No idea, as this is just a library picture I found. But I do remember that it had the magnified glass speedo and rev counter, and the single spoke steering wheel. I have a photo of it somewhere (can't find it at the moment) and also it would have been in 1982 as that's when I got married. I think the car should have outlived the marriage!

We had an LTI TXII black cab as a wedding car, except it was a white one.  The driver was a really nice cabbie called Doug.

Our wedding car was a distinctly Autoshite Silver Spirit, very likely full of wob.  

 

Top marks for the honesty of the driver though, I called him to arrange and he said it was no problem 'as long as it passes the MOT'.   I didn't tell the missus that until after the wedding when it had presumably passed and turned up on the day.

That wasn't down nr Honiton in Devon a few years ago by any chance?

Nine years ago actually. Note the Original Tin sticker in the rear window! Jeepers. Was it that long ago?!

I forgot about Pistonheads and the e-cock wavers that frequent it. Hopefully I'll have forgotten again this time tomorrow.

TBH the conversation seems pretty fair so far- someone even has a spreadsheet;)

Spotted a white Dacia Duster (new one).

 

It had at least 18" RWD fitment ten spoke Merc wheels with rubberband tyres, that, IIRC were off an SLS AMG?!

had a Shaguar of some sort as a wedding car, it didn't really flick my switch. I've been asked to do one in the Galaxie but it's a two door and I can't see the blushing bride in full merangue outfit getting past my folded seat

After sleeping on sofas all weekend I may* have a plan.

Make sure you hide your face on CCTV when you buy the petrol. For the fire.

the "trunk" is probably big enough. Might stain her frock, though

Just received my Fathers day pressie from no 1 son... it's only an E-pipe! Made in China (boo- hiss!) but a pukka looking bit of kit. I just look and feel a complete twat puffing on it!
