The mg tickford turbo ... i came across this car about 5 years ago through the tickford owners club it had been locked away in a leaky garage for 8 years ! ... anyway a deal was done and the car i collected (600 mile round journey ) when home the car was striped down and the thing was rotten all down 1 side as the 2 left hand tyers had gone flat and the water always settled there ... spent the next 2 years looking at some very bad shells that were surposet to be good`ens ? ...anyway found the right one for the right price and there it started .... i lost all pics of the start of the re shell as my laptop was stolen and with it went the pics ... the tickford register has some ill see if i can get hold of then ....anyway here is what i have























i have compleated a deal for these to go in the car .... i did so with a heavy hart as i love the green and baige combo but i also like the thought of these in the car and as vp001 is in need of a good set i think it tiped the ballance of thought ...so go easy with me but be honest with me ... what do you think ?

wow i love it

me too but what about the green leathers ? ... i think i need some input

the seats are good but how do the passengers get in

cant believe it !!! there the seats i was bidding on but wasnt around wen it finished as i well bloody wanted them you lucky sod !! lol
im totally jealous!!

Wow! I can't believe you need to ask if they'll look ok. I think they'll look spot on being a green car too.

Passengers? If that were my car there would only be me in it!

now shunter has my kind of thinking

aranging collection hope to have them by the end of the month ...ill post some pics when there in

Saw those on eBay looked a nice job but I couldn't think what 'tro they'd suit - looking at yours I think they were made for it

Btw what did you do with the MK2 centre console to get that MK1 gaiter to sit nicely in it, that black metal jobbie in the middle? Askin as I've got that console in my R100 with an uber-rare MG (?) leather gaiter that screws into the R100 mounting points but would be cool to have it sit like yours does

Only thing I don't like about the MK2 Tickfords is the cross-spoke alloys, methinks they deserve something a bit more special than the standard fit MG ones

I also saw those green leather seats on Ebay and thought how nice they would look in a BRG car The red piping is very MG too. Good combo.

On the subject of Tickfords, does anyone remember the mint silver one that was for sale on Ebay a couple of years ago? It was part of the Patrick collection in Bham. It went for quite a lot of money and I always wondered what became of it.
