Rochdale Cars

These cars were on the stand of the Rochdale Owners Club at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018.
This is a 1956 Rochdale Type C, originally with a Ford side valve engine, but now undergoing restoration and has a Ford Kent engine. Its registration number is XUM461, but that doesn't show up on the DVLA database.

This is a 1959 Rochdale GT with a Ford 1,172cc side valve engine.
This car is a 1961 Rochdale Riviera, one of only 5 cars thought to still exist. It also has the Ford 1,172cc side valve engine.
This is a 1961 Rochdale Olympic Phase 1 which the Rochdale Owners Club's website says had a 1,380cc BMC A series engine, but the DVLA record says the car's engine capacity is 1,100cc.
This 1959 Rochdale Olympic Phase 2 also has a BMC A series engine which the DVLA record says has a capacity of 1,114cc.
