I bought a Rochdale Special with a three gear Ford engine whilst based in Manchester in 1965.
On the way back to my home in Leeds the gear lever broke off and I drove it all the way over the Pennines in third gear!
The gear lever was quickly repaired and my youngest brother and I drove the Rochdale for several years.
I always wanted an Olympic Phase 2 but it was never to happen.

I have an olympic that I inherited from my father. He bought it and assembled it in the uk, and then brought it home. It's been sitting in a barn for 40 years.

I've just stumbled across your site whilst looking up 50's specials. What's more, you've finally settled a debate/discussion my brother-in-law and I have had for many years, i.e. was there a car manufacturer based in Rochdale? It must have been an Olympic he saw in Rochdale in the early sixties whilst he was a travelling salesman. A local said it was a car made by a car manufacturer in Rochdale. Knowing my interest in cars,he travelled around looking for a big factory - the car looked far too good to be a 'mere' special cobbled together in someone's garage! He expected to find something like Cowley or Abingdon! He didn't and so just assumed the local was wrong. I'm not sure how we/I never discovered the Rochdale mark in the subsequent years, but there you go! Nice looking car and I can see why Fred thought it was a car from a 'big' factory!

The black and white photo of the GT at the bottom of the page looks as if it was taken at the Pittencrieff Glen entrance at Dunfermline. wonder if you have any more details?

I am very impressed. One can find anything on the web. I discovered the Olympic in 1960 in an English automotive magazine and even inquired about it to the manufacturer. Keep up the good work!
