We were talking at work today and a question came up, what was the tuning company that Ford used back in the late 70's and 80's, (Not Cosworth) all that we could come up with was that it began with a "T", if any one could help,

Believe Tickford was used on some fords, capri springs to mind, think it was something to do with aston martin, cosworth goes back to the 60,s, I seem to remember, burton was involved a lot on the crossflows, lots different on Essex engines, jeff urren (savage) most remembered,not a lot on the cologne engine,lots on the pinto, but nothing springs to mind, Gartrack done work on fords, but mostly running gear, suspension etc, had g3 some years ago xr3 rwd with 2.8 inj, but threw engine in bin and fitted essex, dogs danglies, so if it begins with (t) can only think of tickford, regards

"Tickford " or similar spelling. I can get more detalis if you want, as my old man used to be a Ford dealer and also a works rally driver.
I believe that the company tuned the old XR4i's that were used for Saloon car racing.

I think the question has been answered, but I can also remember Broadspeed and Savage, (in the UK) and Zakspeed (Germany) who used to tune Escorts and Capris.

Tickford rings a bell and Lotus were also known to dabble with the old Cortina's too!

i think you will find it is Tickford.From my fading memory i think they made a Tickford Capri,it had a body kit on it,but not sure if there where any engine mods..there are plenty of old school ford sites around who will be able to tell you exactly.
