Arrow Prince William borrows his father's vintage Aston Martin for Royal Wedding cruise!



Royal Wedding's Vintage Aston Martin
Prince William and his bride, Kate, delighted spectators Friday by leaving a wedding reception at Buckingham Palace in an open top sports car — with the groom at the wheel.

The classic Aston Martin, which belongs to William's father, Prince Charles, sported a "JUST WED" number plate and had balloons fluttering from its back bumpers. A bright yellow helicopter of the Royal Air Force search and rescue service — William's unit — circled overhead.

Kate, still in her stunning wedding dress, clearly enjoyed the ride, beaming and waving to the crowds. The pair traveled the short distance to St James's Palace for a rest before an evening dinner-dance at Buckingham Palace.

It's his fathers car, he got it as a birthday gift from Queen Elizabeth when he first got his drivers permit If I am not mistaken.

Jeez the media is getting lazy these days. Maybe it's just me being anal, but come the fvck on people, take some pride in your work. Hellen Keller could tell that car's not black.

Best part of the wedding. Congrats Kate and William.

42-year-old Aston Martin DB6 Volante MkII finished in Seychelles Blue. Would love to own a classic like this.
