Looking for some information on a Rochdale F type that did some Hillclimbs and sprinting with a gentleman called Mr Bilton.

Sorry, Mr Bilton does not cross-reference in the club record of Rochdale F types.
Do you have any more details on the car, such as a photograph or a registration number so I can check against the records?

An F type is a body shell, it would help if you told us what it underwear it was hiding.

Mine did but pre the F Type body being fitted - see Marsh Special YRF 167 postings. I don't have any record of Tony letting others drive it and he sold it to William (Bill) Bainbridge who fitted the F-Type body.

It sported Redruth Battery & equipment on the side and the number 41. I have a pic but can't work out how to post it.

Thundersport, with the above information I know about this Rochdale âFâ Type. But with respect I know little about yourself, are you the current owner of the car
if not can you please tell me what is your interest in the car?
As you can see below I am happy to post under my own name and show why I am on the Forum.

The Buckler register lists a few Rochdale bodied cars but none with an F-type body.
They say R.A.Booth had VAR732 with a C-type body.
