Rochdale Olympic Restoration....
Discussion
Hi. I'm new to this group but have been on the TVR S forum for sometime now..
I've just collected this little beauty from a friends mother whose husband was going to restore and use some years ago. Unfortunately, circumstances took a turn for the worse and as such the car has been left in her garage since the early 1970's. I'm totally unfamiliar with these cars so restoration is going to be 'interesting'.. I'll no doubt be looking for words of wisdom and advice from any members on here with similar cars in the future. Pictures of progress will be forthcoming as I progress..

It's got an A series engine (in bits) and what looks like Morris Minor front suspension and rear axle. There's a steering rack and numerous other parts that I'll start trying to identify soon. I'm not sure what route I'll go with it, might consider a newer type engine or just keep it as original as possible..
Unfortunately, not very quickly. The lady who owns the car is in the process of moving house, and that's why it was unearthed from her garage after many years stored. She's not been able to decide what she wants to do with the car, obviously she has other things on her plate at present. Soon as anything progresses, I'll be posting pics and details on the forum..
