I've written to Matt directly and recomended James Taylor's book on 
Series I as he also includes a brief treatment on Tickfords.  What 
little I know of them is that like any coach-built vehicles, you're not 
going to find a warehouse of spares for the parts that make a Tickford 
unique. to the rest of Series 1 vehicles.
