The most recent addition to the fleet, this Beauford replica vintage tourer combines vintage charm with modern comfort and performance. Based on a pre-war Duesenberg design, this car has proved to be exceptionally popular, so please book early.

For the last word in luxury, our 1983 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit features leather armchairs that wouldn’t look out of place in a gentleman’s club, and carpets so deep you could lose your slippers in them. We (somewhat smugly) reckon it is the best of its kind in the area.

In much demand is this beautiful Daimler DS420 limousine. Following a six month restoration, the car is now presented in immaculate condition and, in light ivory, is a magnificent sight it its own right, or a perfect partner to the Rolls-Royce. Capable of seating up to 7 (plus driver), the occasional seats can be folded away to accommodate a dress of regal proportions.

This 1966 MkX Jaguar has been in my family since it was just four years old (it’s more a part of the family than some of the family!). The MkX was the flagship of the Jaguar range throughout the 1960s and, at nearly 17 feet long and 6’4” wide, the largest standard Jaguar saloon ever made. Beautifully finished in leather and walnut, it was described by the contemporary press as the “ultimate in space, pace and grace”, and you’ll have to go a long, long way to find one in better condition than this.

For those who favour a more modern style (or ideal in a supporting role to the MkX), our 1985 Series 3 Daimler Sovereign offers truly elegant styling, combined with sumptuous levels of air-conditioned comfort.

1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. If you like chrome and fins, then this is the car for you. 18' 10" of American showmanship, you'll either love it or hate it, but either way it's difficult to ignore.
Don't hire this car if you are shy!

Finally, “Bubbles” the 1926 Bullnose Morris is known and loved by many, being the car that started it all for Rye Classics in 1991. Now well into her eighties, she deserves to be treated gently, so I prefer to keep her fairly local. So if you really like the look of her (or me, because I will drive her personally) you'll have to ask me really nicely.

Prospective hirers are encouraged, where possible, to pay us a visit to see for themselves the exceptional condition of these vehicles. Please telephone in advance to agree a mutually convenient time, and to obtain directions.

From time to time, other cars will be brought in to supplement the Rye Classics fleet. If you can’t find what you want in the above selection, please feel free to ask. I might know where to find exactly what you are looking for.
