Right, i'm best man for a wedding in march and the groom (my nephew) want's my sad (some might say, i don't ) e34 silver 518 as the bridesmaid car. They have a silver 1939 beaufort (whatever that is) for the bride. They liked my suggestion for a totally silver BM wedding. Anyone willing to offer services or ideas appreciated.

No, just cheap. Thought this could be a thing to make the papers if organised right and what better present could i give them than an entourage of e34's ------------- Always willing to learn |

Initially I was thinking that you were looking for a 518i but then realised you have one. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

I've got a silver E60. Pity I'm on the other side of the Irish sea though. Pass on my best wishes to the happy couple, I've been married just over 2 months now and I've only just got used to typing with this ring on my finger!

the beaufort is a ford, absolutely stunning looking car, a friend of mine used one for their wedding. I have a photo of it somewhere. ------------- Dave Ryle  "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." -- George Bernard Shaw |

Beaforts are kit cars based on either Sierra's or Cortinas. You can tell which old ford it is based on by looking at the exposed front suspension. That's what I was looking at when we were looking for wedding cars. I was more interested in the oily bits under the bonnet rather than the insides of Mercs and Jags etc. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

We used a 740 (E38) in silver for my sisters wedding and it was superb-looked the business all decked out n shiny.
Make sure everyones strapped in though.....2 bridesmaids plus bride in dresses on leather rear seats makes for fun when cornering. ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |
