Tickford
Tickford Limited had small coachbuilding origins in the 1820s as the
family firm of Salmons and Son based at Tickford Street in Newport
Pagnell.
In 1955 it was bought by David Brown, who was already the owner of Aston Martin (since 1947) and Lagonda (since 1948) and an extensive user of Tickford bodies. He soon moved Aston Martin onto the site at Tickford Street where it remained until Ford moved DB7 production to Bloxham and then to Gaydon for the DB9 and DBS. The Tickford name disappeared between the late 1950s and 1981.
