Rochdale Olympic Phase 11

Post by stevenwood3 »

Hi

Just like to introduce my Rochdale Olympic . Built in the early seventies it is believed to be the one of or the last to be built due to its lack of a base coat . It has BMC running gear and a Rochdale chassis and body . Any questions welcome .

Steve

Just saw this advert, and thought it looked familiar.

I wonder if he't take a spaceframe clubmans car project...........? :lol:

A Rochdale is an itch I need to scratch at somestage! 8-) One of the most interesting and technically advanced specialist cars, akin to a Lotus Elite but without the hassle of the climax engine (or the need for such a big mortgage!)

I have always liked the shape of these sweet little coupes but have had an unrequited lust for a GSM, Flamingo or Delta!
