There were tickford options on any EB Falcon/Fairmont/Fairmont Ghia... It included sprint style bodykit, suspension and mags...

well sure the bodykit may have been dealer optioned, but clearly this vehicle is not to be taken seriously.

It has the 16" wheels, which means it probably has Tickford suspension, which means it has a Tickford build plate on it.

I dont see anything misleading about the ad, the guy is just using the minor tickford mods as a selling point. Wouldn't you do the same?

It is pricey for an EB 5.0, but there isn't anything suss about it.

"tickford enhanced", lol its not a tickford car but it does have tickford options. Makes sense, but i wouldnt go crazy over the tickford theme if i had it eg. tickford wings on the airbox and even badges on the sides!!??.

Do you get a Tickford build plate when you ordered Tickford options. Where is it located.

Those wheels are just the eb/ed optional 16" painted black, nothing tickford about them. Otherwise I am sticking mine on ebay as a 'Tickford' option, and watch the price triple.

Sorry not plate, sticker. I mixed them up with the plate fitted with Tickford LPG.

Nothing Tickford about them. However I think you'll find most cars had them because they got the Tickford suspension. Buy Tickford suspension and you got the 16" wheels.

Their is nothing Tickford about this car, joke on the buyer thats all, somebody has brought some tickford wings and stuck them on, not even in the right spots I might add, (LOL).

Their is a what is and what is not a tickford in the tickford vehicles thread, and I must say their is alot of confusion out there.

No where did he say it was a Tickford vehicle. He said it's Tickford enhanced. If it has Tickford suspension (which is very possible) it's true.

My AUIII Futura has a Tickford plate on it, not a sticker, a proper plate mounted in the engine bay, says Tickford Suspension and Tickford Wheels.

Still, I took off the Tickford wings.. its really just a Futura.
