Polly Pootles has been in my family since the late 80s. It is well and truly a family car. Taking me from my early college days right through to the weddings we carry out now. Having spoken to Pootles first owner many years ago, I found out he’d brought his first child home from the hospital in it. From then on I had plans for it to become a ‘special occasion’ car.
After undergoing a very healthy restoration, we took our first wedding booking in 2010 (pictured below, gorgeous photography by Marianne Taylor Photography).
Our own wedding
Pootles was on duty at my own wedding in 2008 (before restoration) and we were featured in the legendary Cosmo Bride Jan/Feb 09 edition. This is me, Helen, with my sister who very kindly drove me. Polly Pootles was before the restoration, and had new vintage white paint, new interior, new ragtop sunroof, all ready for ongoing service. We love weddings!
