The Appeal
The trouble with vintage cars is there's no guarantee of reliability. And that's fine if you're willing and able to cope with the occasional spell at the side of the road, bonnet up and spanners in hand. But if you've somewhere to be, such as the church on someone's wedding day, here lies an issue. That's where the Beauford tourer starts making a lot of sense.
With charming classic lines, evoking those luxurious open tourers of the 1930s, this Beauford is in fact based upon far more modern Ford running gear. The Beauford name is firmly cemented as a favourite in most wedding and chauffeur car circles, and this delightful open-top tourer has been working that game with great success.
Previously operating as part of a vast collection and prestigious wedding fleet, this example has been well looked after and is in lovely condition for its age. Whether you too are in this line of work, or you simply want a car with classic lines yet dependable underpinnings, this would be a great buy.
