Consecutive hires of the Cobra and E-Type Jag

To all at Vanilla Classics,

Re: hire of Cobra 10-12 October & E-Type 12-16 October 2011

Apologies that it has taken us so long to send the feedback form which is enclosed.

We had a really wonderful time which I'm sure Jax can confirm by the HUGE grins on our faces.

Both cars made our week of surprises very special indeed, not least because of the fabulous condition they were both presented in and their faultless mechanical condition which meant that we had virtually no problems.

.......One thing we do know is that we will be back to see you again. We both fancy a day with the Mini Cooper S (I did notice on your website when you click on the More Info button it says it is a convertible!) (Oops! We'll get this changed, 10 out of 10 for observation)

Thank you all for making our week so special. By the end we were both on surprise overload but we were successful in our aim, which was to leave our normal lives behind and live a wonderful dream.

From Jonathan & Gill :)

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Woodley

The MGB Roadster was invited to the wedding of Mr & Mrs Woodley in October. Self-drive hire cars are becoming increasingly popular as people are looking for something a little different to the usual chauffeur drive Bentleys.

Riley 1949, oldest car in the fleet.

We loved the Riley experience! Dad was chuffed to bits and had lots of fun driving it over the weekend. Enclosed is a photo of my dad with the car.

Thanks again for helping us have a wonderful weekend!

Healey Frogeye 1959

Drew and Sophie were married in September and used our 'Froggie'   http://www.vanillaclassics.com/car.php?v=29 as their  wedding car, despite the fact that the bride has a frog phobia!! As you can see from the photo, this little car is great for weddings and roomy enough to accomodate Sophie's beautiful dress. Very many congratulations to you both!

How many 50th Birthdays can the E-Type Jaguar celebrate this year?

"OK, now where shall I start! Jax is a pure gem, truly jealous of her office!! From the moment we left the 'office' the smiles never left our faces...she roared through the lanes and purred at the junctions (I assume they are talking about the Jaguar and not Jax...)

We never wanted the day to end and will be planning on the next opportunity to come back...thank you guys for assisting me in giving John the best birthday experience ever...he even said he loved the car nearly as much as me lol...thanks xxx"

Miss Marple, 1952 Morris Minor convertible heads to the Isle of Wight

"My girlfriend and I borrowed Miss Marple for a few days last week and went across to the Isle of Wight.

All three of us had a wonderful time: the sun was out, the roof was down and the winding backroads were a pleasure to pootle along on.

Driving a car that was more than twice as old as me was a new experience - one that I could certainly get used to.

The service we got at Vanilla Classics was also great. There aren't mounds of paperwork such as you get at a modern car rental firm, and the staff obviously have a passion for what they do. If you have a few days off work you could certainly do worse than taking a Morris Minor out.

We'll certainly be back, unless I can convince my better half that we should adopt our very own Minor on a permanent basis. I am working on it..."

Thank you again and you will probably hear from us again! and thank you for all your help with our requests, it really was one of the best weekends we have ever had!

Austin Healey 100/6

Thank you so much for organising everything for us! Jason LOVED the Healey and we had a superb time driving around the countryside. I will certainly send some pictures in due course.

You have been a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience easy and exciting for us! We would both have no hesitation in recommending Vanilla Classics to friends and family not only for the lovely selection of beautifully looked after cars but also for your excellent customer service! You have looked after us so well and been so very helpful. Thank you!

We will be back sometime in the future.

All the best,

Another up-date on recent customer feedback

"We had a fab time with 'Monty' the Mini Cooper S. Weather great, beautiful roads...We stayed at The Angel, Midhurst and would highly recommend it. We would love to visit again and try another great car."

"A surprise present from the family. Car gleaming, sun shining, 70's music playing - the open road beckons....back later, still buzzing. What a welcome - mustn't get too relaxed!!"

"A fantastic 2nd wedding anniversary present! So sad to give our E-Type back - when can we come again?!"

"What a fantastic day: waited 40 years to drive an AC Cobra and I was not disappointed: it's a true beast :-)"

The extremely busy E-Type Jaguar

The E-Type has been out practically every day over the last few weeks. Paul recently booked the car as his father (AKA 'Happy Pappy'!) was over from France. Judging from this stunning photo it seems a great time was had by all.

"Great weekend in the e type thanks!!

Fab car, really enjoyed it."

The Jag goes to the dogs...

My wife Ruth was very surprised when I turned up in the E type to take her out to dinner at the Kennels at Goodwood. In fact she thought I'd bought it!

The drive home late evening with the roof down was great.

Many thanks, Mike.

Great feedback after customers hired our AC Cobra (Replica)

"Steve was so happy with his 40th Birthday gift - a day driving his dream car, the AC Cobra. We had a fantastic day driving through Midhurst, Petersfield, Arundel and Bognor! Stopped off for a lovely lunch at The Earl of March in Lavant.

Thank you so much to Claire in the office who was extremely helpful and friendly. Also to Jax for explaining everything when handing the car over to us. And last but not least, Ian who waited patiently when we arrived back a bit late! We would definitely recommend Vanilla Clasics to our friends and family.

Thanks again,"

Austin Healey 100/6 (1957)

Many thanks to Sarah for forwarding some photos of their recent Vanilla Classics experience in our Austin Healey, their all time favourite car. They also suggested that we extend our selection of cars...Any suggestions on which cars you would like to see amongst the fleet gratefully received!

The Mini Cooper is nicknamed 'Monty'!

"1964 Mini Cooper S
I’m not sure that there is more fun to be found on four wheels than in this beautiful 1964 Mini Cooper S. I hired it as a surprise for my wife from www.vanillaclassics.com, check out the rest of their lovely fleet. They’ve got a fantastic set up in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Jacqueline later admitted that as we approached Vanilla Classics she thought.. “He’s bought another bike” but she was soon smiling when she saw “Monty”.

This is one of only 963 cars built with the 970cc engine, the first Cooper S, designed by Alec Issigonis and fettled by John Cooper. The car is in remarkable condition for a 47 year old and puts out a healthy 65bhp @ 6500rpm with a heady top speed of 82mph."

Miss Marple makes a birthday extra special

"Just a quick note to say thank you for the way in which you treated us, like we were the only customer - its not very often you get service that you can praise therefore think its certainly worthy of a mention. Tristan certainly had the shock of his life (and did drive a little bit!!). He had a whale of a time. Thanks once again"

Austin Healey has lunch at the George and Dragon.

Thank you for this - we had a great day, the South Downs drive to Lewes and back was beautiful. We were lucky with the weather - It clouded over a bit later but it didn't rain at all. I enclose a couple of photos - One outside the George and Dragon at Shipley http://www.georgeanddragonshipley.co.uk/ where we had lunch and which we can recommend strongly to anybody.

Looking forward to the next time!

Regards,

Justin

E-Type Jaguar April Wedding

Hi Claire,

Please find attached a few pics including your car. I included the one of me in the car purely because before our wedding day i was quite concerned how i'd get in / if i'd fit with my dress!! No problem at all, so thought this may reassure prospective brides too!? I don't know if you remember but we had booked another Etype for our wedding, but it broke down on the thursday before our wedding on the saturday, so finding yours really saved the day AND it was a soft top, which the other wasn't which was a bonus! So many many thanks!

Nicola and Ian Shervell

PS i'm almost certain we won't be in the financial situation to afford it, but if in the future you decided to sell it, please do let us know!

Piers makes Emma's Prom extra special with the help of the Rolls Royce

"Please find attached some photos of Emma's Prom. I hope they put as big a smile on your face as your fabulous Rolls Royce did on all of ours.

I know from the way Emma ran out of the house, still in her pyjamas, when I arrived home how thrilled she was to see such a lovely car pull up to take her to her Prom. It was all we could do to persuade her to finish off getting ready.
Without doubt your Rolls Royce was one of the highlights, if not the highlight of Emma's evening.

The Rolls Royce was beautifully presented and prepared, it was everything I expected it to be, if not more. A remarkable feat for a vehicle that is over 30 years old and it is testament to the commitment and care that you obviously take when looking after such a wonderful Car.

I apologise in advance about the quality of the photos, both my wife and I are still coming to terms with the digital camera and I'm sorry that I spelt both your names wrong in the note I left for you, you'll just have to put that down to yet another gaff along with not putting the aerial up on the Rolls and then wondering why the radio wouldn't work ? As my kids would say 'Epic Fail' or ..... Doh !

I hope you receive the photos OK, and explain to Jax that I've now found another reason to put a suit on !

Just leaves me to Thank You ALL so much again for your help, the loan of your Rolls Royce certainly made it a night none of us will ever forget."

Cheers
Piers.

Vanilla Classics help with a proposal

Henry contacted us recently and booked the E-Type Jag for a very special day! We were in on the secret from the start as Henry explained that he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend and needed a cover story. Henry is a professional photographer, and a very good one at that judging from his website http://henry-stuart.co.uk/

So the story was...Henry had been asked by the Spread Eagle Hotel, Midhurst to take some photos and we were supplying a Classic Car in exchange for some shots! Jax stuck to the script beautifully when handing over the car to them, in Henry's words "Thank you so much Jax for making this so special"

'What were the highlights of your Vanilla Classics Experience?" 'She said YES!!'

Congratulations Sue & Henry from the Dream Team at Vanilla Classics!!

Wonderful photographs!

Shirley and Nigel had a day out in the Healey and have kindly sent us some great photos and lovely feedback.

"We had a fabulous day - Nigel said it was "..great fun..!" We couldn't have wished for better weather - just as well as I dont think we could have managed putting the roof on and taking it off again!!

Many thanks to Jax for her enthusiastic and friendly greeting and for taking Nigel through the ropes of driving the Austin. At the end of the day, he had a few aches and pains but really appreciated getting back into his car with all its modern labour saving devices. Its what my Dad would have called "proper driving!"

From start to finish, it was an incredible experience and certainly one I would recommend to anyone who will listen. From the initial phone call to ask questions and make the booking, the fantastic idea of producing the mock MOT certificate as the gift ticket, the confirmation email from you and your help when I rang last week about paying the deposit monies, to the welcome on Saturday and the great support available re the AA card etc in the boot (thankfully not needed but comforting to know it was there if we did). Again, feel free to add these comments to any feedback records/guest book you may use."

Best wishes to you all

Shirley

The E-Type helps fulfill someone's dream

A week ago Hugh & Sandra took the E-Type Jaguar away for a couple of days. "I've wanted to drive an E-Type since the man who lived opposite got one when I was seventeen. A real thrill to drive, wonderful car. Thanks a lot."

They would like to recommend the New Forest / Isle of Wight run (route 4 on our website)

"The photo was taken on the A3055 between Freshwater and Ventnor on the Isle of Wight.
We stayed at the Lulworth Cove Inn at West Lulworth and the Ventnor Towers Hotel on the island. I'd recommend both.
And your cheque arrived this morning (21/05). Very prompt."

All the best - Hugh

Alan's birthday experience in the E-Type

Yesterday Alan was treated to a day out in the E-Type Jaguar (1972) by his family. The weather was absolutely glorious, allowing them to have the roof down for the whole day and enjoy all the very best that Sunny Sussex has to offer.

"An excellent day's entertainment in a wonderful E-Type, bathed in sunshine. What a thrill!"

They would also like to recommend Cassons in Tangmere, near Chichester as a special place for a special meal. http://www.cassonsrestaurant.co.uk/frontpage.html

Yesterday a party of five came down to Sunny Sussex to experience a wonderful drive around the countryside, taking in some great views before retiring to the Oystercatcher to warm up by the fire and enjoy a feast. They chose the Riley, AC Cobra, Healey, Mercedes and Rolls Royce, an eclectic choice offering a range of driving experiences.

"An absolutely amazing experience. We hired 5 cars in total and so had the opportunity to experience the different drives each car delivers. Going from the Riley to the Cobra was literally Back to the Future! Loved it and will definitely come again. The personnel were also so helpful, informative and really helped to deliver an unforgettable experience." Lucy

Another Happy Birthday

"So sorry it has taken so long to reply. Many thanks for all your help in making the arrangements for the Jag, Gary had a fabulous day and was absolutely beside himself when he saw the car - I think he was the envy of every man on the street! We had the roof down and cruised all around the South Downs, it was great. The B&B (The Orchard) that was on your list was also excellent and the owner, Mandie booked us in to the Earl of March for dinner so we had a wonderful day and evening! A really memorable trip.

Thanks so much for returning the deposit. We would recommend Vanilla Splits and Classics (and have done so already) to others. We are already contemplating hiring a VW camper for a weekend next year so I am sure we will be in contact again soon."

Best wishes,
Jennie

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous day with the Jag. The weather could have been a little kinder but what the heck we had a great day. To be honest we thought the day was really good value for money and we will be back for more. I think it has got to be the Rolls Royce next time and then we can take our wives on a picnic in style.
Thanks again for a great day and thanks for letting us have the car from 0900.

Hi Vanilla Classics, My wife treated me to a day out with your Sky Blue MGB Roadster, and I would like to say what a great day out it was. The weather wasn't great so we couldn't make the most of the top down, but besides this what a cracking little car! Thought you might like to see a couple of the shots I took of him in a layby on the way to Goodwood. Just click on this http://www.flickr.com/photos/chamberlain_tim/4920822845/  Thanks again for a great day out. Going to go for the Cobra next time. Grrrrrrrrr!!

The Best Birthday Ever

Mr Colin Hicklin celebrated a very special birthday on 02/05/10. His son, Oli, booked our Jaguar E-Type for him to drive for the day .

The whole family turned up at Goodwood Breakfast Club at 9am - Colin was totally unaware of what was about to happen. His other son phoned him and asked which cars he'd been looking at and proceeded to tell him that the Jag in front of him was his to take away to enjoy! After a quick burst of 'Happy Birthday' and a few tears he set off for what he later described as "The Best Birthday ever!"

AC Cobra

What a day! Thanks to Vanilla Classics for making this such a great day.
How often do you get to drive an AC Cobra, and especially around such beautiful countryside as Bosham and the South Downs? I've wanted the chance to do this for years, and to hire such an amazing car as the AC Cobra really was something special. If you only do one thing this year - give yourself a treat and rent a classic car! Thanks Vanilla Classics - good job!
