The seller offers for sale this 1976 Beauford Convertible, an elegant cabriolet inspired by luxury roadsters from the pre-war era. This particular example is a Beauford kit car built on a Ford Cortina chassis and fitted with a 3.5-liter Rover V8 petrol engine combined with an automatic transmission. The car presents classic styling with flowing fenders, a long bonnet and an open touring character. Maintenance work carried out in 2025 includes replacement of the right steering joint, new front brake linings and a new exhaust pipe. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The paintwork was originally red but was repainted white several years ago. The bodywork shows some scratches and small imperfections consistent with normal use. The interior is simple in design and described as usable, matching the practical character of this classic-style convertible.
The current documented mileage is 52.500 miles and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The car is equipped with a soft top that is described as being in good condition. It shows light signs of use or minor creases but remains weatherproof. The soft-top mechanism is also reported to function properly, with slight resistance or noise during operation that could benefit from light lubrication.
The Beauford Convertible is a well-known British kit car designed to capture the appearance of luxury touring cars from the 1920s and 1930s. With its upright grille, sweeping wings and classic proportions, the model quickly became popular for weddings, events and leisure touring. Many Beaufords are built using reliable mechanical components from more modern donor vehicles, allowing owners to enjoy vintage styling with accessible maintenance and dependable performance. The use of the Rover V8 engine in many examples adds strong performance and a distinctive sound, making the driving experience both relaxed and engaging. Because each car was assembled individually, every Beauford has its own character and specification, which adds to its appeal among enthusiasts who appreciate classic looks combined with more modern drivability.
