Highlights
• Inexpensive alternative to Thirties classic
• Not as pretentious as many of the bigger limos.
• Simple Ford mechanicals
The Background
Beauford has been producing kit cars since the mid-Eighties. Most often supplied in kit form, they used glassfibire bodies built onto on fairly standard mechanicals - Ford, Austin Mini etc., and usually resemble classic and Vintage models from the Twenties and Thirties. Many find their way into the wedding car hire business.
The History
This particular Beauford carries their four-door body built over Ford Granada mechanicals. It comes from a well-known and experienced limousine and wedding car hire company and has been in storage for some time.
The Paperwork
The Beauford comes with a V5, a couple of invoices of the work carried out on the vehicle and previous MOT checks. The last MOT expired in December of last year.
The Exterior
Finished in Olde English White, the big tourer can still make quite an impression. Panel fit is generally good and all doors and lids open and close as they should.
The car needs a good clean, but the paintwork is generally good, with the odd scuff here and there. The exception to this is, of course, the damage to the near-side mudguard where the glassfibre is cracked and splintered.
The Beauford is actually a Category-N write-off, which means there was no structural damage sustained, but the insurance company found it ‘uneconomical’ to repair. (You may wish to make your own judgements about the subtle differences between uneconomical and ‘too much trouble’, but the damage doesn’t go beyond what can be seen).

The chrome all around the car - of course a lot newer than the Thirties ‘look’ - is generally very good, though the door hinges and the front driving lamps both show pitting and some corrosion. Rubber seals around the car; doors, windows and the beading between the panels look pretty healthy.
Another item that will definitely need replacing is the canvas top. This is very faded and has a couple of large tears around one of the hoops. A replacement could probably be obtained from Beauford.
The Interior
The limo’s interior is basically sound, but needs a bit of tlc - including a good valeting. The seat vinyl/leather is intact and sound - the driver’s is more dirty than worn, and the carpets, at least in the back, should be fine. The door cards are acceptable and the wood around the car generally fine, with the odd chip.
What looks like chequer plate around the gear selector is actually thick but flexible plastic. (A standard Ford Granada auto selector hides beneath). The frame holding up the roof shows some surface rust, but after rubbing down and repainting will most likely be totally acceptable. As already said, the canvas itself needs replacing.

The Mechanics
Everything under those side-opening engine covers looks basically sound, if a little unloved. It’s a Ford V6 in there. There is some surface corrosion here and there, and joins in the plumbing show oxidation, but everything looks basically servicable.
The engine starts and drives readily enough and the auto transmission slots easily into gear and drives.The underside of the car looks to be solid. Again there is surface rust on suspension and steering components, but structures look basically strong and sound.
Everything is very accessible and - remember - it runs on Ford mechanicals - nothing exotic.

The Appeal
If you want olde school charm in the wedding car business without the Vintage servicing headaches, a Beauford is one way to go.
If shampoo and elbow grease is more readily available than cash right now (and you know someone who is handy with glass fibre), this cabriolet might be the starting point for a new venture.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
