ARRIVE IN STYLE Ultimate Classic Car Hire, based in Send, Surrey, now offers a remarkable selection of more than 35 classic, vintage and luxury cars. The owner, Tony Allen, put his teenage passion for collecting classic motor vehicles to good use by lending his cars to friends for their weddings. He tells us: “Way back in 1990, as the collection grew, I established my classic car hire business, and since then, my collection has grown exponentially into one of the most impressive in the South East of England. We maintain many fine examples of iconic Rolls Royces, including the Silver Wraith, Phantom II & VI, Silver Dawn and Silver Cloud, along with Bentleys, Jaguars, Daimlers and a selection of classic American cars, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Mercury. “If some of the cars look familiar, you may have spotted them in some of their starring film and TV roles in The Crown, Rocketman, Cruella and Made in Chelsea, to name but a few. Ultimate Classic Car Hire work with a variety of film and production companies in the UK’s burgeoning film industry. I would be delighted to help you plan your very special occasion with one or more of my famous motor cars.” Ultimate Classic Car Hire are proud supporters of African Revival, a charity set up by Tony in 2005 to provide access to quality education for children living in areas of extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.
