The NACA ducts are for extra-snorting

That flat wing is perfect for doing mad lines off of.

Dude.. you CAN NOT post a picture of the Tickford Turbo and NOT tell people about the specs, this thing was a friggin' beast back in the days... 205hp (153KW) top speed of 137 miles per hour.. 0-60 in less than 7 seconds, 0 - 100 in less than 14 seconds.. 30-80 was just above 4 seconds.

And this was in the first half of the eighties..

People go insane with those stupid decklid seats, Lamborghini came up with this super-helpful "line-bar" almost 30 years ago. THAT is cotomer sevis.

Sorry man. I forgot its bad-assery went further than skin-deep.

That's OK mate :) I was just shocked that someone actually knew about it :)

Not many where ever made, the cost was a bit high I'd say.. And no wonder it was an expensive car, they spent hours on changing the profile of the bonnet so that it would look correct with the blank grille.. heh.

That blank grille is pretty cool looking though. I'm just not sure how well the engine stays cooled.

I'd suggest you should do a google search on the car, there was a reason they used that grille, it was not just looks, or looks at all. They forcefed the car with cool air,, or something.. can't quite remember.

*Cocaine on wheels that are way too small for the bodywork, I mean c'mon, they look like bottlecaps!

I'd rather have small wheels and tires than these huge wheels they put on cars today.
