    What a nice chap. Us car guys recognise other car guys and we just chat about cars as if we'd known each other for years.

    OMG!!
    I haven't seen a Rochdale Olympic for many a year and this one is a convertible as well. What a find Stu. Such a rare find. Hats off to Chris for allowing you to show this hidden gem of a British sports car.

    What a beauty , lovely looking car. Its blown my mind how you find these rarities and even get the owners help to show them. Brilliant yet again Stu. I have seen a hard top but it was in Zoetermeer in Holland,the old boy there has a collection of one offs. Thank you I look forward to your videos

    I love the respect you show to the folk you meet on your videos. I have only seen one of these incredible cars (it was fitted with a Riley 1.5 litre B series engine.The car was parked along with a Morris Minor MM in a street in Hitchin in the late '90's, even gave the gentleman a handbook for his Minor

    Brilliant find, it’s heritage is the Ford Special era of the 50’s as mentioned to avoid purchase tax and own a sports car as ready made availability after the war was rare. Still have my 1958 Falcon special on the road after 56 years of ownership complete with its sidevalve engine. Great fun, I hope the Rochdale finds a new home rather than decaying in the garden.

    Never heard of Rochdale I was thinking it was a jaguar but really nice of the bloke to take cover off a showing and he can't work on he's own car on the drive how stupid someone will want to buy the car you can tell the bloke looked after it and enjoyed driving it and it can't work on it at he's rented house 🤬😡 good find again stu 👍

    If you get the chance 5th May Steyning village high St has has its "Vintage Revival festival . Its only its second year, last year had some really rare classics I'm sure you'd like it. Also just have a drive round the village you will be surprised what's on driveways and gardens. ( a very very rare Ferrari a 1952 BMW or so I'm told, it looks older tbh)

    I wonder what the convertible conversion did to the structural rigidity, but what a striking car! Those big driving lights are really cool, the side view gives me a little Mazda Cosmo and I’m a sucker for a trunk rack… Sorry, boot rack?

    Very unique find. My only worry is that the strength of the body is compromised by the roof cut off. No chassis, how is the handling affected.

    • @carlwilliams4705
      @carlwilliams4705 2 місяці тому +2

      My dad cut the roof off in the 80s and reinforced the shell. Seems to have held up well in 40 odd years

    These cars that are for sale, maybe you should arrange to help fix them up and get them sold and take a % “Potentially for sale” seems to sound like “not really arsed what happens” which is a shame

    Complete pile of crap . So poor construction and simply no body bought them . Secondhand they sold for nothing and no real owners except fot club members were interested who were delusional enough to think they were special . A joke . Noise rattles and shakes the life out of you on any trip .
