Rochdale GT

Just had an email (unrelated) from a fellow enthusiast, Gordon C, and he happened to mention that 2009 was the year he wanted to drag out his Rochdale GT after 13 years in the shed. I've Googled Rochdale to find out a bit more about them. It appears that Gordon's is the only Rochdale GT in the country although there are at least 2 Rochdale Olympics here including one used in Historic racing which turned up at Phillip Island last year. Look in the links for the Rochdale Owners Club. I'm about to put it up.

    Look at the headlights. They're VW. They look better on the Rochdale than they do on the Volksy.
