Help! MB classic needed for wedding

[Brycecunni]

Hi,
Myself and my fiance are being married at the end of April in the southwest of Scotland (Ayrshire). Being a massive fan of mb I have many attributes of the brand throughout the day (wedding cake, table names, etc) and until an hour ago i had a beautiful r107 to use for the day to travel from the church to reception, unfortunately the gentleman who owns the car has sold it and now i unfortunately have no classic Mercedes for the day.
Im really hoping someone could help as this is really going to ruin my day. Does anyone at all have a classic Benz we could use? It is for the 26th April.

Any help would really be appreciated

How about your own?

You could hire one from the SL Shop perhaps?

May I politely suggest than you focus on the person you are marrying rather than what car you're travelling in.

If it really will ruin your day by not driving a 107 then maybe you should seek help.

Harsh. Maybe they both like the cars.

There's quite a few Ayrshire members on here so sure someone will be along, if not nip down and see the boys at Glen henderson in Ayr between them they have a fine collection of MB cars dating back to the 70's I'm sure one of them would do you a favour for some beer money

Some things are best thought and not communicated. There is no need for a post like this.

To the OP - best of luck with your search. I hope your special day goes well.

For clarification, are you expecting to be driven in the vehicle by its owner, or be lent the vehicle to drive yourself?

IME, there's a considerable difference in circumstances between the two.

Thanks for everyone's reply.
Apologies if I came across as too involved with the brand rather than my fiance, we are both big fans of the brand and due to my panicking last night I believe I may have came across a bit strange.
I would use my own car (176 A180 Sport in black) but we also have a vintage/classic type theme to the wedding and the new A-Class would perhaps look a touch modern.
The gentleman who owned the 107 would allow me to drive the car but only because we are friends, I obviously would never expect someone to allow a complete stranger to drive their pride and joy.
Unfortunately Glen Henderson closed a few years ago, I actually worked there a year before closing, a lot of current MB dealers would learn a huge amount from the way GH ran his business

Hi,Quick roundup of the day:
I had three very generous friends on the day. My wife and I travelled from the church in an sl350 (r230)(roof down due to the amazing day), bridesmaids in a GL350 cdi and the mothers in a w211 E220.
We both had an amazing day

I was hoping to see a nice pic of the cars !

I will get some 'car' pics up as soon as my new wife and i get back .
Were in the Maldives for our honeymoon, on an island with no roads and 300 staff who most of have never been in a car. Everyone i ask have still heard of a Mercedes-Benz.
Absolutely awesome!
