Hi Diana, Mark and all,

You haven't heard of me for a while, but I have actively followed the
discussion on the list.

> it would only be a bit over 600 Kilometres in the day.  After all it IS
her wedding!

I also agree that a series one is a good choice for a wedding car and
certainly worth (reasonable) trouble. We had our 1957 107" SW as our wedding
car two and a half years ago and it indeed was the centerpiece of the whole
day - even though Land Rovers and series ones in particular are not very
well known here in Finland. In fact, my 83-year-old grandmother (who is not
at all into cars of any kind) noted that the Landy was the absolute
highlight of the ceremony.

As a nice stunt (we thought), the Landy was crank-started in the front of
the church - which, of course, took several attempts from the best man who
was used to more "modern" vehicles.

The event was very briefly featured in the Legend a couple of years ago, but
there is a picture of the Landy all "dressed up":
