Exchanged engine and gearbox with a Granada in July 2021
MOT valid until February 2025
Special 4-stud chrome wheels
The Appeal
First arriving on the market in 1978, Beauford offer a peculiar view to nostalgic motoring with their legendary kit car. Long, swooping wings, a distinguished stance and those distinctive exhaust hoses make the car a particularly beguiling fusion of the old and the new. Naturally, as a result, they've become a popular pick as a wedding car or rather whimsical Sunday driver.
This particular example, built in 2007, has covered 13,435 miles, and has been with the current owner from new. In 2021, the car was treated to a new Ford Granada engine and gearbox, both of which are still running well.
The car has a lovely white livery, with a very elegant champagne and burgundy cabin that's wrapped in layers of burr walnut capping and fascia. Finish it off with those special 4-stud chrome wheels and the classic Beauford hood ornament and you've got a particularly fabulous tourer.
