Tickford is offering what it is describing as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to carsales.com.au Ford Mustang and Ranger buyers with the sale of its Mustang and Ranger development vehicles.
The Prodrive Australia owned and operated company says the opportunity to purchase the vehicles represents “a unique moment in Australian automotive history”. No pressure then…
Three cars are for sale, GT (V8) and EcoBoost (four-cylinder) Mustangs and a Ranger.
Tickford Marketing Director, Peter Trevaskis believes the opportunity to own the vehicles will “appeal to a wide range of enthusiasts”.
“We are in the unique position to offer for sale three very important vehicles central to Tickford’s re-emergence, and the fact these are literally the first of their kind to receive the Tickford treatment makes them extremely rare,” Trevaskis said.
“Tickford is all about performance and passion and our first GT and EcoBoost Mustangs, along with our first Ranger Wildtrak, typify these values as they were central to developing the range of products we now offer.
“While technically used cars, the history of each makes them special and we believe they will be highly sought by collectors both new to the brand and with a history of acquiring high-performance Fords.”
