Aeroford was a British automobile manufacturer based in Bayswater, London, operational from 1920 to 1925. The brand emerged during a period when various companies sought to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Ford Model T, which was widely regarded for its practicality but often criticized for its plain design. Aeroford aimed to market modified versions of the Model T at significantly higher prices, presenting a more stylish alternative to consumers.
The Aeroford featured a distinctive body and radiator design, available in several configurations including a two-seater, four-seater, and coupe. Initially priced at £288 in 1920, the cost of Aeroford vehicles decreased over time, ranging from £168 to £214 by 1925. This pricing strategy reflected the competitive nature of the automotive market during the early 1920s, where various brands, including others like Alberford, Crewford, and Maiflower, attempted similar modifications to the Model T.
Despite its innovative approach, Aeroford's production was short-lived, and the brand ceased operations in 1925, leaving behind a brief but notable legacy in the early British automotive landscape.
