1981 Beauford Tourer

Highlights

  • Excellent classic styling paired with reliable running gear
  • Ideal for use as part of a wedding or chauffeur car fleet
  • Well presented throughout
  • Desirable open top variant

The Appeal

 
A charming slice of classic automotive style. 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. Operating as part of a vast collection and prestigious wedding fleet, it's a car that lends itself well to continued use in the field thanks to its wonderful blend of endearing vintage style and more modern, dependable running gear.

 

 
 

The History and Paperwork

  • Correctly registered as Beauford Tourer with relevant V5 registration document present
  • Has been used as a wedding car for a considerable portion of its life as we understand
  • Just three recorded owners
  • The car has been operated and maintained by a prestigious wedding car firm for the last four years
  • Having been nearly exclusively used as a wedding car, mileage is on the lower side, displayed at under 35,000 and thus accompanying paperwork is limited with a great deal of maintenance occurring in house
  • Selection of MOT certificates present with the car
  • MOT records highlight very limited mileage covered in recent years
  • Dry stored throughout current ownership
 
 

The Condition
 

  • Thoroughly well presented example. Well preserved in a striking white over red colour scheme
  • All white exterior paintwork lends itself well to use in the wedding world
  • The paint and bodywork is of a marvellous standard, having been well maintained and used very lovingly throughout its time
  • Notably lacking in signs of blemishing or age related marking
  • External trim, much of which comes in charming 1920s and 30s style is in great order, with quality chromework and badging throughout
  • Quality wheels with white wall tyres finished in matching body coloured cream paint scheme with two full size spares residing on the sloping front wings
  • Removable contrasting black soft top roof
  • The roof panel and its relevant fixings unfasten and retract smoothly and with ease
  • The cabin is lavishly upholstered in an alluring deep red colour scheme throughout
  • Upholstery is of a high quality, still rich in colour with very limited signs of wear, age or patina
  • Internal trim and fascias, including a wonderful high gloss wood finish dash panel, are in great overall shape
  • Quality matching red carpeting used within the cabin
  • Four spoke wood rim steering wheel
  • Rear luggage storage box
  • Roll down front side windows with fully removable slide out rear windows
 
 

The Mechanics

  • Utilising tried and tested Ford running gear, with a quality engine paired to a simple five speed manual transmission
  • The car fires into life quickly and with comfort, idling well and providing a good overall driving experience according to the vendor
  • The engine and surrounding engine bay present in good clean order, indicative of the low mileage boasted on the odometer
  • The vendor tells us the car has been well cared for as part of their extensive fleet of wedding cars
