A lovely car indeed, this fine example of a Beauford has been used as a wedding car and as such has covered very few miles, and been very well maintained and looked after. Built to a very high standard in 1994 using Ford Pinto running gear. This fine motor starts and drives very reliably and wants for nothing, and is sure to turn heads wherever it goes!
The History and Paperwork
V5 present
The vehicle has been used exclusively as a wedding car, and as such it has been lovingly maintained and cared for, with no expense spared
Due to its wedding car role, the car has covered very few miles, and as such there is very little paperwork mostly consisting of MOT certificates and some small receipts for servicing and small jobs carried out
The vehicle is tax exempt due to its carrying an age-related number plate.
Despite being built in November 1994, the car is registered based on the DVLA provision for a specialist kit conversion and as such uses a large portion of the running gear of the donor car and carries an age related registration
It is registered as a Beauford which is a nice touch
Clearly close attention to detail has been taken to ensure the condition of the vehicle has been kept to a very high standard
The Interior
This lovely interior is very clean and has clearly been very well maintained
The passenger seat will be supplied with the car
It is set up as a wedding car and as such does not have a front passenger seat to enable easy access to the rear seats despite being a 2-door
With seats adorned in supple red leather and the carpets in a lovely thick, plush red, this is a very luxurious interior and is in wonderful condition throughout
There has been a small repair to the rear seats where the leather was punctured, however this has been carried out to a high standard
The interior also features a wood dashboard panel which is very nice and free of any major blemishes and also wooden door trims, these are also in reasonable condition
Everything works as it should and it even includes a matched ice bucket holder for your chauffeured guests
Overall a very nice place to be, with the interior being clean and in brilliant condition, full of vintage style and appeal
The Exterior
This Beauford is of mid 90’s construction and the fibreglass body is very well presented, and the lovely white paint is in exceptionally good condition
The aluminium bonnet is likewise in brilliant shape, with flowing 1930s styling this vehicle is sure to turn heads
There is a very small amount of corrosion starting to appear on the bottom of the passenger door as these are of steel construction, however this would be easily rectified
Lovely wire spoked wheels complete the 1930’s style and are in very good condition and the tyres are all in good condition and have lots of tread left
The dual Spare wheels are mounted on either side on the bonnet with lovely chrome band clamps, a very nice feature
This is an exceptional example of the open tourer 2 door body style, and the black soft top is in wonderful condition, being clean and well presented, and folds without issue
Included is a cover to protect it from the elements when folded
The headlamp units look fantastic, along with the chrome indicator units and lovely bonnet emblem
Overall, a very nicely presented example of the marque, in stunning condition and very well cared for
The Mechanics
Mechanically in excellent shape and well cared for. Everything works as it should and the car runs and drives very nicely
Ford running gear with a ford Pinto 2.0L engine and ford 5 speed transmission
The Beauford ladder chassis is in good condition overall and all components underneath are in good overall condition and are well serviced
Not exceptionally clean under the bonnet and under the car but the vehicle has been well maintained nonetheless, would take very little work to get under the bonnet and chassis looking as good as the exterior should it be desired
Fresh MOT and new handbrake cables are the most recent work carried out
Excellent running order throughout
Summary
Overall a wonderfully well kept machine in stunning shape. Wanting for nothing this car has covered very few miles and been maintained to high standard and has served as a very reliable and luxurious wedding car.
Sure to bring many years of joy to the right buyer in further use as a wedding vehicle or as a private car.
