Tickford-tweaked Ford Mustang up for grabs

Bayford Group, Tickford and PPG have joined forces to build a very special Ford Mustang – the first prize in a raffle draw for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre.

The Mustang is valued at $129,412 and features Tickford wheels, sports suspension, leather interior, upgraded drivetrain (exhaust and tuning), 'Olivia' stripe kit, custom paint, blacked-out mirrors/badges and a rear deck-lid spoiler.

Tickets for the raffle cost $20 and entrants are also in the draw for a host of other prizes as well. Valued at $2500, second prize is a 'hot-lap' experience sitting alongside a Prodrive Supercar driver.

Third prize – at $1395 – is a BMW driving experience at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit and fourth prize is a Prodrive Supercars pit lane experience worth $1000.

The beneficiary of the raffle proceeds, The Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre, is a joint venture between Austin Health and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute. According to the centre, it offers "cancer treatment, integrated research, leading clinical trials and tailored wellness programs", so the money is going to a good cause.

"We conduct a wide range of fundraising for the ONJ Wellness and Research Centre, but the 'Olivia' Mustang is one of the most unique promotions we have ever undertaken," says Leigh Wallace, Head of Philanthropy for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre.

"Our thanks go to the Bayford Group, Tickford and PPG for creating such a fabulous car."

The raffle closes on July 14 and will be drawn the same day. Tickets can be purchased online at the website.
