RODLEY 750

4-seater convertible.

Crude and nasty JAP-engined minicar from Leeds, with angular rolltop coachwork Topolino-style, three-speed motorbike gearbox driving by chain to friction-differential back end, cable-operated brakes, and chain steering; coil ifs and semi-elliptic rear. It may have been 'the cheapest four-wheel car in Britain', but who's ever seen one? Single known survivor.
