VEHICLE SPEC.

THIS IS ONE OF THE TICKFORD BUILT 80” STATION WAGONS BUILT 1949/50. THIS VEHICLE WAS SENT WHEN NEW TO U.N.I.C.E.F. IN FINLAND WHEN NEW WITH ONE OTHER FOR DELIVERY OF MOTHERS MILK IN 1950. WE HAVE A FULL PHOTO HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE DAY IT WAS DELIVERED. AFTER 10 YEARS IT WAS FITTED WITH A PTO AND HAD A LARGE AIR COMPRESSOR INSTALLED IN THE REAR AND LIVED IN A QUARRY BLOWING UP TRUCK TYRES. THIS IS POSSIBLY THE MOST ORIGINAL UN RESTORED EXAMPLE AROUND. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 1997 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAD IT IN A MUSEUM IN THE NORTH OF FINLAND. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY LUCK WHEN I SAW IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I USE THE VEHICLE FOR SERIES ONE TRIPS ABROAD, BEING A VERY PRACTICAL AND USABLE 80”. ORIGINAL VEHICLES IN THIS CONDITION ARE NOW VERY UNIQUE AND VERY DESIRABLE.
