1933 Pilot mit Karosserie 'Tickford Saloon'
 The car is offered in the two model years 1932 and 1933 as "Tickford Saloon" by Salmons and Sons Ltd, Newport Pagnell,.

The Tickford body does not need any description. Salmons & Sons have been experts in bodywork construction for 110 years and have developed the partially opening body to a perfection that no other bodybuilder can match. The simple operation of the roof section by means of a hand crank means that it can also be operated by ladies, even if they are travelling alone.

The detailing and materials are of the finest quality, from the selected English ash from our own wood stores to the handcrafted aluminium panels and the finest leather upholstery.

The equipment offers four lockable doors with recessed windows, safety glass windscreen in the chrome frame and with automatic windscreen wiper, very comfortable, adjustable seats, pile carpets with felt padding, electric ceiling light, two ashtrays, ventilation flaps for the front footwell - just to name a few.

In addition to the more powerful engine, the following changes were made to the 1933 model year: New car front, new front wings, larger bonnet, narrower bulkhead, safety glass all around.
