Wedding Cars
Some cars simply provide transport. Others become part of the occasion.
Our Bentley Arnage T offers the presence, craftsmanship and understated grandeur that make it a natural wedding car. With its imposing silhouette, beautifully appointed interior and unmistakable Bentley character, it provides an elegant setting in which to arrive, pause and enjoy the moment.
Chauffeur-driven and prepared personally for each booking, the Bentley offers far more than a journey. It becomes part of the experience—and part of the photographs and memories that remain long after the day itself.
About The Quantock Car Collection
Nestled on the edge of the Quantock Hills in Somerset, we offer discreet access to a carefully curated collection of Aston Martins and Porsches—made available for self-drive hire simply, personally, and without fanfare.
This is private motoring, self-drive hire and driving experiences in their truest sense. No rushed handovers. No staging. Each hire is arranged individually, with time, care, and attention to detail, allowing the car to be enjoyed as it was intended—on open roads, at your own pace.
Alongside self-drive hire, we offer guided scenic drives through Somerset, Exmoor, and the North Devon coast. Clients remain in their chosen vehicle, while we lead the route in an equivalent performance car—setting the pace and revealing roads and landscapes best experienced unhurried.
Our clients are enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship, heritage, and presence of these iconic marques. Some come to mark a personal milestone; others are gifted the experience by someone who understands that true luxury is time, privacy, and authenticity. Please ask about driving experience gifts.
We also offer a chauffeur-driven service for selected occasions, including proms and special events—presented with the same discretion and care, allowing clients to arrive calmly, confidently, and without responsibility.
Whether for a day, a weekend, a guided drive, or a special occasion, our cars become part of your life for a while—not something to be borrowed and hurriedly returned. From our quiet countryside setting to the roads that unfold beyond it, every detail is considered, understated, and deliberately unshowy.
Because the finest motoring experiences aren’t announced.
They’re arranged.
THE COLLECTION
Aston Martin DB9 Grey
Porsche 911 Carrera Silver
Aston Martin DB9 Black
The DB9 is one of the most important Aston Martins ever built.
It established the design language that still defines the marque today and proved that a V12 grand tourer could be both beautiful and genuinely usable.
To drive a DB9 is to experience Aston Martin as it was intended:
long-legged, elegant, and deeply rewarding over real roads.

To drive a DB9 is to experience Aston Martin as it was intended:
long-legged, elegant, and deeply rewarding over real roads.
Whether drawn to the slightly more analogue feel of the Grigio Titanio car or the refined composure of the Onyx Black example, both offer something increasingly rare — a naturally aspirated V12 delivering between 450 and 470 bhp, best enjoyed over a weekend without hurry.

Few cars have remained so faithful to their original purpose.
For over half a century, the 911 has evolved carefully rather than radically — refining balance, feel, and usability while retaining its unmistakable character.
The 997 generation is widely regarded as one of the sweet spots: modern enough to feel refined and capable, yet still deeply connected and mechanical in the way it responds to the driver.
To drive a 911 Carrera is to experience a car designed around clarity and control, rather than drama for its own sake. It is a different pleasure to the Aston Martin — lighter, sharper, and more intimate — but no less rewarding over a weekend on the right roads.
For those who value precision, balance, and driver involvement, the Porsche 911 remains one of the finest choices available.
