Les found this picture and sent me a copy of it the other day. It shows a new Olympic body shell in the back of a Transit van. I thought it may be of interest to someone, while its not strictly speaking a lost car because we don't know anything about it anyway, it may jog a few memories, if you know anything about the history of this one please let us know.
From the picture it looks like it could be a phase 1 judging by the bonnet aperture size.
please contact Olympic_registrar@rochdale-owners-club.co.uk or rochdale-olympic@fsmail.net _________________ Working to increase the profile of Rochdale Cars |

Unfortunately that one is very much a mystery, the picture was on http://www.vord.net/cars/rochdale/frontend.jpg maybe its something to do with them. _________________ Working to increase the profile of Rochdale Cars |
