2001 Ford Tickford TE50 Sedan - Metallic Blue - 152,827km - 5.0L V8 Automatic (Repaired Write-Off)
Overview
The Ford Tickford TE50 occupies a special place in Australian performance car history as one of the flagship models produced by Tickford Vehicle Engineering (TVE) prior to the formation of FPV. Based on the AU Falcon platform, the TE50 featured distinctive styling, upgraded suspension, premium appointments and the proven 5.0-litre Windsor V8, making it one of the most desirable Australian performance sedans of its era. Produced in relatively limited numbers, the TE50 has become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors looking to own a significant chapter of Ford Australia's performance heritage. This particular example combines the classic rear-wheel-drive formula with V8 performance and everyday practicality in a genuine four-door sports sedan.
The vehicle presents in metallic blue with a clean, purposeful appearance befitting a Tickford performance model. The bodywork shows the character of its age and kilometres, with the paint holding reasonable gloss across the panels. The distinctive TE50 styling, alloy wheels and performance-focused appearance set it apart from a standard Falcon. The automatic transmission provides smooth, effortless performance while the legendary 5.0-litre Windsor V8 delivers the unmistakable sound and driving experience for which these cars are renowned. Interior trim combines black leather with blue accent panels on the seats, creating a premium sporting cabin. The odometer reads 152,827 kilometres, reflecting genuine use over two decades.
At this price point, a genuine Tickford TE50 represents compelling value for buyers seeking an increasingly collectible Australian performance car. As one of Tickford's limited-production performance models, the TE50 continues to attract strong enthusiast interest and stands as an important part of Ford Australia's performance legacy.
Condition
The exterior presents with honest patina consistent with a vehicle of this age. The metallic blue paint holds good colour saturation across all visible panels with minor stone chipping evident on the bonnet leading edge, typical of highway use. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight with no evidence of major accident repair. The alloy wheels present well with minimal kerb marking, fitted with matching tyres showing reasonable tread depth. Interior trim shows wear consistent with age and kilometres, particularly on the steering wheel and seat bolsters where contact is heaviest. The dashboard remains intact with no obvious cracks, and the instrument cluster displays clearly. Climate controls and switchgear operate as expected. The boot space is clean and tidy with spare wheel present. Overall condition reflects a well-used but maintained example of this increasingly desirable Tickford performance sedan.
