	Salmons to Tickford
		This was patented and became known as the Tickford All-Weather style because of its instant adaptability; previously, passengers probably just had to put up with a sudden shower.
		The Autocar, commenting on coachwork at Olympia commented that it was a "striking development of adaptably designed bodywork" and "this remarkahle body should be seen by all visitors." The windows dropped down into the doors and the supports hinged down inside the body; when erecting, the hood automatically locked in to them via spring catches.
		During the Thirties, Salmons were producing batches of standardised 'Tickford' open coachwork for manufacturers such as MG, Vauxhall, Rover and the Hillman Aero Minx coupe convertible.

	Tickford
		Tickford began as a small company called Salmon and Son that built up a coachbuilding operation in the 1820s, based in Tickford Street in Newport Pagnell.
		The car had a Tickford turbo engine, the rear spoiler and some minor trim items from the Tickford Capri but was far from being a complete Tickford Capri.
		The Tickford theory was that the equal length manifold pipes would keep the pulses of gas as close together timewise to smooth response.

	AutoSpeed - New Car Test - Tickford TE50
		And the Tickford TE50 is not a car that you would let a 17 or 18 year old son go out driving with his mates; further than that, it is not a car that many non-enthusiast men or women will be able to safely drive in slippery conditions.
		Without traction control, the 5.6-series Tickfords are cars that would require a stern warning before being lent to a friend on a wet day; no such constraint exists with the Holdens.
		So while in absolute terms the Tickford actually has good rear-end grip, in the real world of families and cars and driving, its lack of traction control is an enormous disadvantage.

		Our source from within Fords also tell us that the mill destined for the still born 300+ is to make it's way under the TS50 version's bonnet - so Ford fans, you can begin the party now!...

	Andrew's EL Fairmont Ghia - Affordable Luxury:
		And with the Tickford motor thrown in to boot - who could say no? Well, certainly not our man Andrew who has enjoyed the luxury side of life for all of 4 months now courtesy of this particular '98 model Fairmont Ghia.
		Initially Andrew wanted to fit the very same Tickford Speedline wheels fitted to the Fairlane by Tickford, but Andrew was soon put off that idea by a hefty $800 per wheel price tag (rim only!) and the reluctance by Tickford to sell them to anybody short of a 'Fairlane by Tickford' owner!!!
		Bringing the whole show down a whole lot closer to mother earth than Ford ever intended are a set of Pedder's springs and shocks, lowering the front by 30mm and rear by a smaller 20mm to keep that all important rake.

	Rover 800 Tickford
		Once the package was defined and developed, Tickford was commissioned simply to process the final detail development and carry out low-volume component build.
		It actually talks about publicly exploiting the sporting association of Tickford, and the press release which followed says : "The development of the turbo installation was carried out for Rover under contract by Tickford".
		In the end, 563 examples were built, of which, many ended up in the hands of BAe executives (BAe/Rover company cars being the biggest source of UK Rover 800 registrations at the time), and, sadly, only a handful survive today.

		Tickford are also responsible for manufacturing the additional body styling panels which add to the sporting and eye catching appeal of the car.

		Commenting on the MG project, Tickford Managing Director John Thurston said: “This new model is one of the most exiting ‘hot hatchbacks’ on the road today.

	Australian Ford Forums - AU 1 Tickford gas problems!!
		Long story short, another "customer/ LPG expert" gave me a "flow control valve", showed me where to fit it, then instructed me how to "gut the stepper motor" on the converter, and said if that don't fix it, then a new converter is required.
		The converter was $550, (not Tickford) but my receipts don't tell me what type it is, sorry.
		All I know is they showed me a stack of original "Tickford" converters which they said were not adjustable and unservicable.
