We keep a selection of antique carriages, both restored and unrestored, on show and for sale in our 1840s wagon barn, and can also source a particular design of vehicle for you from our extensive contacts. We can provide vehicles in unrestored, as-found condition, or undertake a variety of work on your behalf, from general roadworthiness to show standard restorations.
Alternatively we are happy to build a traditional carriage to a period design from our vintage pattern books, to suit your particular needs. Please feel free to ask for further information. Our specialist staff are well equipped to advise you on any facet of driving an antique carriage, and are always happy to discuss the various designs of coachwork and undercarriage available. Most images below have pop-up enlargements; please double click the image.
We accept bank transfers, cash or cheque, EFT, VISA and Mastercard
