from what i have read on this forum the xr8 insignia was a tickford joint effort hence the falcon s as well . my xr8 has these badges/stickers but no tickford wings on body or motor . was this an oversight on my car or was that standard for this build date .
febuary 1993 any advice guys/girls would be great |

Tickford had little to do with the EB XR8 - the motor was the same as you could get on almost all other Falcon models, and I believe the suspension was optional on basic Falcons too. The first major Tickford model was the Capri Clubsprint. The EB XR6 was their first substantially worked Falcon.

The EB did wear wings, but only on its rocker cover.
EB1 S-XR8, was a Ford car.
