It was a delight having Harvey at our wedding. We had both the mini golf and the carnival games for 4 hours and they were a real hit with our guests both large and small! It was really fun seeing kids enjoy the games and our friends getting to know one another over mini golf. Very highly recommended! More...

Hired an MG Roadster for the day, had such a fantastic time. Harvey was very relaxed, explained everything about the car that we needed to know and off we went! The whole process felt very easy going and Harvey genuinely just wanted us to have a great time and enjoy the car. We live in London but found driving to the location of the hire was perfect, as you have a wide range of country lanes and pretty sites to visit. We visited Cafe Amigo nearby which served fantastic food. Would thoroughly recommend Drives of Yesteryear, especially if you're unsure or nervous about the process of hiring a classic car. We felt at ease straight away with Harvey and had a fantastic day. More...

We absolutely loved having the mini golf at our wedding and could not recommend it enough. It was such a fun addition to the day and kept guests entertained throughout the afternoon/evening. The setup looked fantastic and fit perfectly with the atmosphere of our wedding. Everything was organised so smoothly, and communication beforehand was brilliant, which made the whole process completely stress-free. So many of our guests commented on how much fun it was, and it gave everyone something interactive to enjoy together between the different parts of the day. It was one of the best additions we made to the wedding and created some really lovely memories. Thank you again Harvey for helping make our wedding day so special! More...

We would highly recommend Drives of Yesteryear! We have always loved Mustangs so a vintage 1960s mustang was the perfect choice for our wedding car. The car looked amazing and was in excellent condition and we got lots of lovely photos with it. Harvey was very helpful and patient with the paperwork and also with explaining how the car worked, so it was very easy and enjoyable to drive away from our wedding and around Hertfordshire the morning after our wedding. We also really appreciate how flexible Harvey was with pick up and drop off times, which meant we didn't have to feel rushed or worry about timings on the day. Thank you so much Harvey for helping us with our big day! More...

The car & service provided were excellent.
We even received a few additional photos of the bride & groom by the car which were very well received by the happy couple.
The service was excellent throughout, even including a trial run to ensure that the car could access the narrow street where the wedding was being held.

What an incredible experience! I self drive hired the stunning little MGB GT for my daughter’s prom. Harvey was very thorough and explained everything in detail so we both knew what was expected of each other through the hire. Insurance was perfect, the car was adorable and what an experience to drive something so special! My daughter is a real petrol head and motorsport photography is her passion and way of life so to bring this home as a surprise and drive her myself was just incredible! Wish I could give more than 100% as everything was perfect from start to finish. Absolutely will be back to hire again! More...

We had the Green Lady for our wedding day and everything about it was perfect. Harvey was great to work with and was always on hand if we had any questions etc. He even offered for us to come and see the Green Lady beforehand and took us out for a little drive! On the day Harvey arrived perfectly on time and got myself, bridal party and parents to the church. The Green Lady was perfectly presented with ribbon and Harvey was dressed in the traditional outfit which matched the car so well! Once we had our ceremony Harvey parked the car up the driveway so it could be seen with the church in the background and we got some lovely photos! We arrived exactly on time at the venue and we had some more photos in the car. Thank you so much Harvey for being the perfect company to work with! If you’re looking for a vintage car look no further than Drives of Yesteryear! More...

The service was brilliant, he arrived in good time & got the car ready for us
He was so kind and had an umbrella ready for the bridesmaids who got in to another car & then did two trips to get myself and my father to the car in the rain
He waited patiently while we had photos after the ceremony
Harvey was so kind & took a brilliant photo of us at the venue
We couldn’t have asked for a better service
