Default Bride needs help - Escort Mk1 required

My husband to be Leigh is passionate about his Ford Escort Mk1's he had to sell his that was trying restore when we found out that we where having a baby (boy) and his dad had to do the same with the same car when he found out he was having Leigh. (HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF)

I thought It would be nice to hire a Escort Mk1 for our wedding on 26th July 2008, to take him and his dad to the church(only). (we have another car to take us to the reception)

Please could you contact me if you can help on my email address. I would appreciate any help large or small, please point me in the right direction. We are moving to Warrington, but will need the car to go from our house in Warrington to Horwich near Bolton.

I am happy to pay for the hire (nothing to ridiculous) and fuel for a quick trip round and then to the church. Need to sort this ASAP as need to start to save for if I am going to acheive

HELP ME PLEASE

Don't want to sound pecimistic, but you are a new user on here and asking for someone to donate their time and what is no doubt a very expensive car for your wedding?

I may be reading into it too much, but with all the "unusual" Ford's going missing this last year then you'll be hard pushed to find anyone.


However, I wish you the best of luck in your search

Sounds perfectly genuine to me, lets face it, it would be a bizarre way to try and steal a car as its not like the person turning up in their mk1 is going to be giving out their address or anything.
Plus im sure the bride will happily give contact details for the church/reg-office to prove its genuine.


What a cracking thing for a bride to do for a groom I reckon, fair play to you love, I hope you find the right car

thanks to all that have sent genuine replies, this is very genuine check with the church if you like!!!! Horwich Parish Horwich

Also would not be like rubbing salt into the wound has my Husband to be and his dad would both prefer to play with there sons (flesh and blood) than a scrap of metal at the end of the day, in a few years they can buy one between them.
