hey all

links from someone else - this guy is over in perth - doesn't know much about it - he got it 3 years ago pretty much as is - anyone know anymore about these cars? TSV - never heard of them & google search didn't help me much!

Nothing spesh I'd imagine. Its probably something a dealer conjured up to sell some old EF's, hoping it would look like HSV. There were a few cars like that in the early and mid 90's.

The first letter usually stood for either the dealer name or the suburb that the dealer was in.

Townsend Special Vehicles.

Coffey ford in dandenong used to do this sort of thing, add on a few options, some wheels and sell it as a limited edition.

I'm still confused uglybob, lol when arnt i rofl, i guess if he rings the baptist college they maybe able to shed some light in this "Thing"

fitting in with that theme, it could have been from Titan Ford - i.e. TSV - with the VIN on www.myford.com.au we should be able to find the original dealer where the car was sold from

S&*t yeah, you could be onto something here

Is it just me or is that pod 50% useless.. they have a cold air feed going into the end of it.. but it can still and will still suck hot air. Not as bad as a normal pod sucking hot air, but would be worse than a standard air box.

In the 9th pic next to the Ford badge it has Townsend Autos. So i dare say TSV stands for, as damo said Townsend Special Vehicles.

Nothing special about it at all... its only a GLi

"Totally Standard Vehicle" ?

You've got me interested in to what's modified now :P

XR_Lightning · 08-10-2006, 06:38 PM

we used to do that sort of stuff at New Oak Ford as well, around when the AU's came out, things like rims which were bloody ugly, a crome exhaust tip, spoiler, side skirts and things like that, nothing like those red door handles or the white mudflaps though
