Rochdale Motor Panels 

Rochdale Motor Panels (more commonly just known as Rochdale) started producing specials in the early 1950's. It wasn't until 1957 when they built the Rochdale GT that they started to produce cars in significant numbers. Formed rather unsurprisingly in Rochdale the company started out as a general motor repair company but got into making specials whilst following motor sport. The company is probably most famously known for the Rochdale Olympic which still has a strong following today.
