Talk:Tickford

Untitled section

In relation to the Tickford article it is not 100% correct. Tickford was not created due to the advent of incumbent engines, Salmon and sons was liquidated due to an issue with Daughter Mary Elizabeth Salmon marrying a man that her father did not approve of. It was a way to prevent Mary Elizabeth to not marry the man that her father did not approve of. This did not work and the liquidation then turned into a ploy to prevent any future generations that decend from Mary Elizabeth and her husband from having any access to the family forturne. They created Tickford after the liquidation however it did not have anything to do with the invention of incumbent engines. (GirlCorrected)

It is not clear why a photograph of an Alvis TE21 or TF 21 is shown on this page as the bodywork shown was by Mulliner/Park Ward after an original design by Graber the Swiss coachbuilder. I think that Tickford built drophead bodies on 1950s Alvis TC21s but never on the later chassis. I owned a 1933 Austin 16 Tickford tourer as a student from 1961 to 1963.

Tube trains?

Have I imagined it/misread something in the railway press, or did Tickford build the aluminium bodyshells on behalf of Metropolitan-Cammell for the original 1967 Victoria Line rolling stock? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.45.193 (talk) 23:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The badge is legitimate.

User User:Eddaido had a question on https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles#Spurious_badge_for_Tickford as to whether the depicted badge was legitimate or not.

Evidence of this badge on several cars points to 'yes':

* This image from here

* This image from here.

* This independent image, by a photographer.

...all confirm it. --No coffee, please. (talk) 13:52, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I disagree with you about the confirmation. The second image is on Simon Geohegan's site — just the one image on the top left hand corner. You say there is a source? I mean a picture of it on its own car? And it didn't come to that car from the other car? Eddaido (talk) 14:12, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided three sources, Eddaido. The Bonhams link is the most compelling one, personally. Yes, it provides several professionally-shot pictures of the emblem in question, on a period-correct vehicle, at auction. It's not the same physical emblem as either the one currently displayed on Wikipedia, nor the one on Simon Geogehan's site — different paint colours, different scratches. That's indisputable proof, in my opinion. --No coffee, please. (talk) 01:24, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of them provide evidence that the badge was used by Tickford on their products. I acknowledge it may have been but in that case for a very short period, a few years.

Please provide convincing evidence of official and long term use before reinstating the badge in that position. Eddaido (talk) 03:02, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alvis 3-Litre Photo

I’m confused by the inclusion of a photo of an Alvis 3-litre in this article. My understanding was that the Alvis body was built by Park Ward using a lightly modified design by Graber of Switzerland. Is that not the case? Rymes60 (talk) 20:30, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
