Meet the Beauford
Our Beauford is made for weddings. Seating up to five passengers and featuring a convertible roof, it combines striking vintage-inspired styling with plenty of presence for the perfect arrival.
Its long bonnet, sweeping wings and elegant proportions recreate the character of the luxury touring cars associated with the 1930s, making it an especially popular choice for traditional, vintage and romantic wedding themes.
Every Beauford booking also includes a professional chauffeur, allowing you to relax, enjoy the journey and concentrate on the day ahead.
The History Behind the Beauford
Although inspired by the grand touring cars of the 1930s, the Beauford has a history of its own. The first Beauford cars were produced in Britain in the 1980s, with the company originally based in Upholland, Lancashire.
Early examples used a Mini bodyshell for the passenger compartment before later models adopted purpose-built moulded bodywork mounted on a ladder chassis. The signature design remained unmistakably vintage-inspired, with a long bonnet, flowing wings and imposing proportions designed to recreate the elegance of pre-war luxury motoring.
The Beauford became particularly popular within the wedding industry. In response, a longer-bodied version was developed to provide more room for rear-seat passengers: an important advantage when accommodating wedding dresses and making entrances and exits easier.
That combination of distinctive period styling and wedding-day practicality is a large part of why the Beauford has remained such a recognisable choice for wedding transport.
Why Choose a Beauford Wedding Car?
For couples who want something with more character than a modern wedding car, the Beauford makes an unforgettable choice.
Its vintage-inspired appearance creates an immediate sense of occasion and looks fantastic in wedding photographs, while the convertible roof gives you the option of an open-top arrival when the weather allows.
Whether you’re planning a traditional ceremony, a stately-home celebration or a wedding with a vintage theme, the Beauford brings elegance and personality to the journey.

Every Beauford wedding car hire from JD Prestige Cars comes with an experienced, professional chauffeur as standard.
There are no self-drive arrangements or transport logistics to worry about on the morning of your wedding. We’ll make sure your car is beautifully presented and ready for a smooth, punctual arrival when you need it.
