The owner of this lovely little Mk2 has been out and about, he took the car to the Abergavenny steam rally at the weekend. He will soon be joining us in the owners club, lets hope we see the car at on ...

I have just been contacted by the owners of this Mk2 Rochdale, as far as I am aware it is new to the owners club.

In the interest of accuracy, WFV 812 is also 'on the road', 2481 AW is finished but currently in storage, not on the road, WWK 51K is almost finished and should be taxed very shortly.

WGH 364R is c ...

I would also echo Barrie's comments re the ecotec engine, my own lightweight was fitted with a 997cc Cosworth blackhead in period, the current crop of historic Formula 3 cars are running the 997 and s ...

Recently I have been talking to the new owner of 120 DPX who is feverishly restoring the car with a view to racing it. Recently sold on ebay and acquired by one of our new members the car is in a very ...

Rochdale Motor Panels never issued chassis numbers as such, this was left to the first owner to sort out, RMP referred to the bodies they built using the order book numbers. Quite a lot of owners took ...
