its an interesting car which I quite like but that probably makes it not cool haha
if it pulled up alongside the kerb I wouldnt think wow what a cool car I dont think

Not enough options in the poll. I don't find it cool, but I wouldn't call it a nail either...

Dezzy, so far all your cars have been uncool! :tuttut:

Cool. To say otherwise it to advertise you unenlightenment. (In my humble opinion) ;)

A classic and the first of its type +++

Absolutely agree......very VERY cool car....

Zip

:eek:

Uncool???? We'll just have to let the poll answer that one mate. :o

Just remember without some of these cars the ones you think are cool may not have ever existed.:D

uber-cool - especially early cars with ali opening panels and the A-frame rear suspension (mostly removed from cars that had it, unfortunately)

Definitely Uber cool, a friend of mine has, well used to have two, one that's genuine, original & mint, another built up from a GT, with all the right parts added, then period rally specced.

I test drove a couple in the early '80s, from Barry Ely's in East London, when I used to work near there. (where I was shown how to spot a genuine one!)

This is a cool car.

What makes it cool is that it started as a humble family saloon and with a bit of applied tweaking we get a very special car (especially in the day)+++:love:

Have to agree. Coooooooooooool!

One of the first fast Fords which has the magic word 'Lotus' in front of it.

Ohhhh a lotus cortina I wasn't old enough to have one but that plus the Beemer m1/quattro set me lusting after performance cars .........I soooooo wanted a tickford Capri in white :p !!! So cool from me dezzy:D

lol I have to admit I did have a Tickford Capri in the full white dinner jacket lol :o

Get a piccie up ASAP if you still have one :D you will make my day :p

I used to quite fancy the Brooklands. That body kit the Tickford had was designed by Simon Saunders, he went on to design the Arial Atom.

I had a high speed passenger ride in one of his Atoms a few weeks ago and OMG I seriously need one!! it rather takes your breath away how it makes supercars look slow around the track. We had to wait until the other supercars on the track were just about to come around and past us before accelerating away so that we had more track space :D

nice silver Tickford Capri for sale on Pistonheads HERE

Wrong color sadly!! :(

£18k??? :Confused:

I said it was nice, not that it was a reasonable price!!! :p

Classic Ford's are getting really expensive especially those that were rare to start with. That said it’s only worth what someone will pay for it, but Mk1 & Mk2’s are silly money too.
