Oh we had the best time ever with these guys! Hannah and Rob chose Doris VW campervan and Bettina beetle for their barn styled wedding at the end of last Summer.

The bridal party were collected from Lancaster and we made a classic VW convoy to Park House Barn in Milnthorpe. The bridal party were a joy to chauffeur and the groomsmen were absolute gents.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed being photographed with our stunning VWs.. we actutally didn’t want to leave!

This was our first time at Park House Barn and I would highly recommend both the venue and the superb staff who work there. Thank you for looking after us!

Heather and Phill tie the knot in Preston – July 2019

It’s always lovely to cover a local wedding and Heather and Phill’s was no different. As a surprise, Heather arranged for Bettina beetle and myself to collect Phill the groom and his best man from Lytham to drive him in style to his wedding. Phill’s face was a picture when we arrived outside and then cruised along Lytham front taking in the sights.

We had the gents arrive in good time at Preston Registry Office for meeting and greeting of their guests before Heather and her bridal party arrived in our beautiful campervan Dusty. Dressed in turquoise ribbons, Dusty’s colour complimented the bridesmaids dresses perfectly.

After the ‘I do’ at the registry office, our classic VWs formed a convoy and made our way to Barton Grange Hotel in Garstang for the celebrations to continue. We remained with the happy couple for photographs before leaving them to enjoy quality time with family and friends.

Heather and Phill, thank you for having us be a part of your day.

Beetle fun in the sun!

It may be unseasonal weather at the moment, but we are definitely making the most of the sun. Bettina beetle has been pootling around the streets of Preston with her roof down, basking in the sunshine.

There’s nothing like a classic VW and it’s fair to say she pulls in the crowds wherever she goes and has to be one of the most photographed cars in Fulwood!

Bettina is available for chauffeur driven wedding hire in Preston and surrounding areas. We cover all of Lancashire and are more than happy to travel further afield in the North West.

Call us now to check availability!

Introducing our classic VW convertible beetle – Bettina!

We have a new beetle! After searching for nearly a year for the right car, we have finally found her. Bettina is a 1974 classic Karmann convertible beetle who will be available for chauffeur driven wedding hire in Preston, Lancashire and across the North West.

Originally imported from Italy, she has sat in a garage for over 25 years protected from the elements but a little unloved. That is until she was spotted, bought and brought to Chase the Sun HQ for a new lease of life.

She needs a full, sympathetic restoration and it’s a big job but so worth it. She will be finished in pastel white and a pale egg shell blue with matching interior. Her hood is a bale biscuit colour.

She’s currently being stripped back to bare metal before being given a full mechanical overhall and we hope to have her on the road for Spring 2018.

We are taking bookings for Bettina now, so don’t delay as dates are going fast. Here is a photograph of how she will look upon completion, with a couple of hints of blue too.
