Don't know if anyone knows of this little book. It was written by Alan Staniforth in 1959 and covers the build of his Rochdale GT, including all the modifications he did. It has been re-printed by a good friend of mine and some copies are available.

If you are interested contact me and I will pass on your details to Robert.

I heard the other day that Allan Staniforth is still competing in motorsport in I believe is an open wheel, home-built special. Ex Daily Mirror journalist.

Yes,

Alan is still compeeting and very handy too, we have tested with him on several occasions, the car he is competing in is a megapin of his own design and manufacture, he also used to build terrapins.
