Historic Rolls Royce Limousines for Sale
A pair of Rolls-Royce limousines commissioned by Harrods, the world-famous department store, has been scheduled for sale on the auction block. If the reserve prices are met or surpassed, the limos will be sold in Bonhams’ Paris sale of Motor Cars at the Grand Palais on February 5, 2011. Harrods bought one of the Rolls-Royce limousines, a 1963 Rolls-Royce Phantom V once owned by Edward, Duke of Kent, at an auction in 1996. Harrods had the limo completely refurbished inside and out with the store’s trademark color, Harrods Green. This Rolls is expected to sell for between $190,000 to $250,000 US.
Custom Limousine Earns World Record as Heaviest Limo
Guinness has certified a custom limo weighing 22.7 tons and measuring 70 feet long and 13 feet high as the world’s heaviest limousine. The Midnight Rider is classified and licensed as a limousine by the state of California and features five TVs, a full bar and three lounges. Don’t look for us to add this megalimo to our fleet of San Francisco limousines in the near future. A Southern California couple owns it and rents it out for the princely sum of $1,050 per hour. That price may sound steep, and it is, but the Midnight Rider comes with a crew of five, including two chauffeurs, a bartender, a hostess and an operations specialist.
Rent a Bay Area Party Bus for Your St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl!
Pub crawls on St. Patrick’s Day are a tradition going back for many Bay Area residents. After all, how can an Irishman, Irishwoman or anyone hoping to be one at least for one day confine himself or herself to one or two bars on this traditional day of merriment? Miss all the festivities in our city’s many drinking establishments? Not a chance! Deal with driving, parking and all the attendant hassles of each? There’s no chance there either unless you want to spend most of your evening driving around while your friends are engaged in activities more consistent with the spirit of the day. Rather than relegate yourself to an evening of anguish behind the wheel, why not rent a San Francisco party bus from NLS Limo?
Transplant Recipient Celebrates 13th Birthday With Pink Limousine Ride
A 13-year-old liver transplant recipient celebrated her birthday in a very special way recently by riding in a pink limousine with close friends and family members. Eden Darcy was born with biliary artesia, a condition in which the liver’s bile ducts are blocked, impairing the function of the liver. The young lady and her family have struggled with the disease since her diagnosis five weeks after she was born. She received a new liver in August 2005, but complications made the following weeks, months and years very difficult. Her body rejected the transplanted liver three times, requiring constant monitoring and a regimen of anti-rejection medication. In addition, she has experienced many side effects from the medication.
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: The Marina
When most visitors to San Francisco think about The Marina, sometimes called the Marina District, they think of the Presidio, which borders this neighborhood to the west. However, when Bay Area residents think about The Marina, they think of the neighborhood’s incredible dining options, the day spas that pamper and please, the spectacular sightlines on the city’s waterfront, the trendy and chic shops and the easy rhythm of life here.

Couple in Britain Chooses Unusual Wedding Transportation
We get a lot of unusual requests from our wedding limousine guests, and we do our very best to accommodate them. After all, we never forget that we’re in the hospitality business.

Proposed Law Targets Party Buses
A California lawmaker has proposed legislation that will close a loophole in an existing law and will make limousine companies responsible for underage drinking that goes on in their vehicles. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, recently proposed Assembly Bill 45, also known as the Brett Studebaker Law, to be passed in the California state legislature. If passed, the law will require California limousine services, party bus operators and other group transportation companies classified as “carriers” to check the identification of all passengers and require anyone under 21 to sign an agreement not to drink while riding in the vehicle. Current state laws require chauffeurs to sign such an agreement before transporting passengers. If an underage passenger violates the terms of the agreement, the driver must terminate the contract and return all passengers to the point of origin.
