Rickman Ranger

[msharpe]

I have recently inherited a Rickman Ranger that has been left stood outside for many years. Its in a state of disrepair and I would like to get it road worthy again.
Is there anyone that can help me with sourcing an original/copy of the build manual that the cars came from the factory with please.

ITs basically a mk2 escort get a Haynes manual for one of those and it should cover everything you need to know
very simple car to work on

You might try the Owners [sic] Club

Tried the owners club. You cant register to post in the forums and i tried emailing the chairman of thr vlub but it wouldnt deliver to email address provided :-(

Now I know why you asked about mine - Welcome to the world of Rickman. I'd suggest a snail mail or phone approach!
They do come up occasionally on Ebay also. Good luck.

i know what you mean about the owners club....i've got a Ranger sitting in a garage that needs a cple of little things doing to get it back on the road from its SORN...but don't have the time, wanted to put an advert on there to see if anyone could make use of it and would then have happily paid whatever their joining fees are/were....
pity as its a nice little car with an almost new engine....

Hi Guys,

if you drop me an email at [e-mail] i will get you the info you need

for membership enquiries, the email you want is [e-mail] the membership secretary's name is John, just let him know lee sent you his way.

if I can help in any way for anything rickman, just drop me a mail.

cheers all,

Lee

Has there been a revolution at the RCOC? I owned the soft top known as "The Flying Fridge" for ten years, changed the engine several times (x-flow to Pint to Pinto inj to Zetec), sent a lot of technical stuff to the club mag.

I still miss that car.
