Apart from a brief spell with Chrysler in the early ‘70s, Roush has specialised in racing Fords and developing performance parts for Ford road cars.
“We have always been impressed with the Roush Performance quality and design,” Tickford managing director Rod Nash said, “having installed over 100 Roush Performance superchargers in Mustangs since their introduction to Australia in 2016, and we have enjoyed a close working relationship during this time.
“It was therefore a natural route to continue this program with an official partnership allowing us to offer Roush Performance parts across our national centres while also working on new ideas. We’re extremely excited to announce the partnership.”
Jack Roush Jnr of Roush Performance Products, said: “We are very excited to start this new program with Tickford. Their rich heritage in both performance and in racing shows a passion and commitment to motorsports and the automotive enthusiast market. We are proud to be partners in these efforts with them.”
