I'm usually a happy go lucky guy, but of late life has taken a bad turn. The wife gives me permission to buy a TS50 series 3 manual and over the last 3 months I can't find one. She has now given me a 12month limit to find one including the 3 months just gone. HELP!!

If you call having permission from the wife to buy a TS50 a bad turn, I'd love to see what happens when you're having a good turn.
Probably post in the Tickford section as you will get a lot of responces as half the guy's on their practically know where every TE, TS, TL are in the country.

Hi Dude,

If you can compromise on the transmission then you can have this one. It looks great !!

Like most falcons you'll find mostly autos, if you can spare a few G's why not buy a nice auto T series and drop a good manual box and clutch into it?

I really hope you're joking about the bad turn!

You've got 9 months left, mate a pregnancy lasts that long! LOL!

I'm sure you'll find one, just relax.

BTW, your Mrs sounds awesome, even giving you the go ahead like that!

I reckon you should bring her flowers home every Friday for that kind of understanding! LOL!

All the best with the search.

Yep post as well in the Tickford section under 'performance'. You will find their are many T series folk here as its rather a cult car, would love one too.

Thanks to all for the advvice but now my wife is expecting flowers on a more regular basis than once in fifteen years. I'll try other forums that were suggested. Wouldn't do the change of transmission due to wanting to keep one fairly original.
