T-Series, begining to end.... - Ford Forums

Just picked up my T3 TS50 on Friday. It sits along side my Tickford Fairlane in the garage. I didn't think of it at 1st but the Tickford Fairlane was really the first ever T-Series and the T3 was the last ever T-series. I must admit the Fairlane doens't even get a look in for performance after driving the TS50 for the weekend. Man what a car! I went into Ford to buy either the GTP or TS50 and the difference in price was just too big. With the options I wanted the GTP was $83K and I got the TS50 with the same options for $55K driveaway...no contest. Also I could take the TS50 right then and there rather than waiting for the GTP. Maybe I will look again when GTHO comes out.

Will post some pics, should make a good shot, TS50 and Tickford Fairlane nose to nose.

A hard decision you had to make ether way you could'nt go wrong!! as a t3 owner you did the right thing, remember Tickford paved the way for FPV .

A pair of worthy and fine beasts!! If you're ever contemplating selling the Tickford Fairlane, there'll be more than a few interested buyers on the forums here! Now how about some pics!

T3's have to be one of the BEST looking falcons ever. No doubt.

Matt where did you purchase the ts50 from?Sounds like a great deal as i'm finding that anyone who has te50 wants around the same dollars you paid for a ts50. Please let me know???

I live on the Gold Coast and the guys here were awesome, Peter Kean in particular. The car was actually the used car sales managers car, it was an ex demo with 15 000 on the clock, hence the great price. Mind you they repainted the front and made it look like new. Just awaiting the new plates and then I will post some pics. I didn't mention it earlier but the car is silhouette and the T3's look unreal in black!
