ROYAL ROADSTER

This Aston Martin-Ford hybrid is the car Brits want to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drive off in following the Royal wedding

A recent survey asked Brits to vote on what motor they thought would feature at the Royal wedding - and the result was a bizarre Aston Martin-Ford hybrid

BRITS are hoping this will be the vehicle newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will drive off into the sunset in following their wedding.

A recent survey asked Royal fans to vote on the type of car they thought would feature on the big day - and the result was a bizarre Aston Martin-Ford hybrid.

Combining the best of the Aston Martin DB11 and the iconic Ford Mustang, the design was voted as the best looking vehicle for the highly anticipated celebrity wedding. 

The research, conducted by webuyanycar.com, revealed 86 per cent of people believe Harry and Meghan will hop into a British car on May 19, while one in 10 imagine the wedding motor could be a half and half American-British hybrid.

But while the motor certainly has a unique look, it's very unlikely the two marquees will combine to create such a bizarre vehicle.

In webuyanycar’s imaginary design, the DB11 shape forms the base, adapted with the wheels and arches of the iconic Mustang.

It also sports the rear end of a classic Mustang, with a Ford bumper, chrome protection bar and two side exhausts.

The survey found that one in 10 even hope the royal wedding coupe will include a special side car for Meghan’s beloved pet Beagle, Guy.

Brits also thought the motor would feature neutral ribbons and elegant white flowers for a simple and classy look.

Almost 60 per cent of Brits voted for the car’s name, Royal Roadster, beating off other potential suggestions including the "Monarch’s Motor" and "Prince’s Pit Stop".

In true royal fashion, three in five think the car will be driven by a member of the Royal Household Staff.

But nearly one quarter believe all tradition will go out the window with Prince Harry sitting behind the wheel on his big day.

Richard Evans, head of technical services at webuyanycar.com, said: “Everything about Harry and Meghan’s wedding, from the bridesmaids and cake, to the invitation and entertainment, has been speculated on by the public.

“Of course, travelling in style is a key part of a wedding day, so we decided to find out what the public thought the royals would choose for their wedding car.

“The fact that Harry and Meghan are a modern couple, with classic style, has been reflected in our unique design, which has been crowned the ‘Royal Roadster’.

“We do live by our name of buying any car on the market and we purchase a fine selection of wedding cars and stretch limos every year.

“I doubt we will ever see one as unique as the Royal Roadster, however.

“Now we just can’t wait to see how close we got to the actual car the couple choose for their big day next week.”
