.... a car that was built in Rochdale, Lancs. Late 50's until the 70's 

Have a look here http://www.rochdale-owners-club.co.uk/ 

Frank Butterworth is my dad   

If you read the Olympic hitory you will see a Richard Parker who went on to patent and build the first Jet Ski 

Gracie Fields and Cyril Smith get more publicity !!!

Yes, I've heard of them before, but never seen one.

Never heard of them, but I wish my dad had done something like that! Excellent claim to fame

I was interested in Kit cars a while ago ( remember Alternative Car mag ?), and the  Rochdale was mentioned a few times there.

What was very interesting was the site about the Rover K series engine, http://www.aronline.co.uk/index.htm?essaykseriesf.htm . Its interesting to hear the technical side of things.
