Seen a few BA's with ticky badges...

Its not that silly given that Prodrive bought out Tickford and rebranded its australian arm as FPV....

Except that Prodrive took the Tickford soul out of building cars; simply producing mass-marketed badge engineered transportation.

The funny thing is that a lot of B series owners (early models) would probably be able to find a few Tickford logos on their cars from factory. Early XR6T's have the Tickford badge on the intercooler, the locknut keys are still Tickford ones, a few of the bodykit parts for utes are also ex-Tickford.

True... plenty of Tickford badges on the back of some of the body-kit pieces on my BF Super Pursuit.

If ony BA's did carry the T' logo...


I like opening up my engine bay and seeing the 'T' on the cylinder head

There is a white BA XT in Canberra with a tickford badge on it. Looks identical to this, except for the color and the goofy taillights. Thought it was someone who liked the wings.
