Peter Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 What do the Series 1 brigade make of this ? Tickford pickup - series 1 - looks rare and unusual. Its currently on ebay - dunsfold say it looks cool. ebay Item number: 260072524343 Okay perhaps not a Tickford (like the one below), but interesting anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardatherton Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm pretty sure this has been featured/advertised in one of the magazines recently. I think it's an odd looking thing, but some might say it takes one to recognise one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That's an interesting looking vehicle. Not too dissimilar from a Tickford, but a pick-up? Perhaps it was made by someone that wanted the comfort of a Tickford, but have a work horse still. Be good if the history could be traced. Les.

Lars L Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well, as the text on Ebay says, it's built in Sweden by Grip Kaross. Many trucks in the early 50s were delivered as a chassi with bonnet and front fenders so a domestic body could be built. Might have something to do with taxation or lack of foreign money shortly after the war. There was a writeup in LRO a while ago when Steve Graham picked one up in northern Sweden.

Hmm, never buy the LR rags anymore. So my own fault. I belive the sell may well be that same person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill van snorkle Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I vagely recall seeing photos of ex World War 2 Willys Jeeps being rebodied in Europe with very similar looking cabs. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 There was a Tickford for sale last month here in Sweden, it was in original state and the chassis number was 600.....I think it's gone now. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
