Modifications included the Tickford body kit  which consisted of a   blanked off grille, flat wheel trims, side skirts and a deep front spoiler.  Engine mods included an IHI  turbo charger and Garrett  intercooler  mounted on a special manifold.  The vehicle had electronic ignition and  special tuning.  the rear axle was located by an 'A' frame while the rear  springs had spacers in them..  A limited slipped diff was an option  before it became standard on the 2.8I.   The rear brake drums were  replaced with solid discs.

Interior:  Luxury with a veneered  walnut dash  and leather trim plus an  option of a full leather interior with Wilton carpeting.  Electric windows,  a  stainless steel exhaust system and Pirelli P7 tyres completed the   'look'.  This was all protected by a sophisticated alarm system.

 It is reputed that some of the 100 2.8's were never converted but were sold off as a  Tickford Capri because  the Tickford name was on the log book.  Have you got one of these  'unconverted' 2.8's??
