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.

Now I know why you asked about mine laugh - 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.

Hi Guys,

as it happens, I'm the newly elected Chairman of the Rickman Cars Owners Club smile

apologies for the issues with emails etc, the previous committee have been in place for a very long time, and it have taken a while for the email addresses etc to be migrated over to the new committee.

if you drop me an email at chair@rickmancarsownersclub.org.uk i will get you the info you need smile

for membership enquiries, the email you want is membership@rickmancarsownersclub.org.uk 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.
