The Appeal
The Beauford Tourer is a hand-built, 1930s-inspired open-top tourer that has become synonymous with wedding transport across the UK. With its elongated bonnet, sweeping wing flares, full-length running boards and vintage proportions, it captures the romance of a pre-war grand tourer while benefiting from proven mechanical underpinnings derived from the Ford Cortina. The four-door configuration, as seen here, is particularly prized for its rear doors that fold completely back, allowing broad, easy cabin entry, a practical detail that has made it the go-to choice for bridal parties.
This kit car example has enjoyed careful, occasional use and presents the classic fairy-tale aesthetic that has kept the Beauford in constant demand. Invoices on file document regular attention over recent years, and the car passed its most recent MOT in March 2026. Whether you are looking to start or expand a wedding car fleet, or simply want a head-turning weekend tourer, this Beauford warrants close inspection.
