Default Re: Tickford to make a return thru Prodrive

I have to agree. The wings had a certain prestige to them - probably because of the likeness to Aston Martin - in a good way. A very fitting branding, and one that still appeals even after nearly 30 years. Much as the stylised FPV logo is quite nice, I still don't think it quite hit the nail like the wings do.

This new logo looks like a kid obsessed with transformers sketched it up on his dad's iPad........ Cheap & tacky.

Tickford used to stand for something special. Something well honed & perfected - a cut above the in-house assembly. They made great strides in putting Ford back on the family car performance map in the 90s, with some great vehicles - the complete package.

Now it seems they're becoming the ill-fated 'Holden by design' accessory arm of Ford Australia - soon to be solely an importing car company.
