You're on the right track, but not a Rochdale.

Wooohooo! I get to pull a Karnutz!

Errrm... that doesn't sound good. No sir,  not good at all.

Anywho, that thar is a Deep Sanderson 301. That particular Deep Sanderson is the one that entered in the 1963 LeMans 24 hour race with Chris Lawrence and Chris Spender as pilots. It lasted 15 laps before seeking the refuge of some nearby hedges. This spared it the humiliation of overheating, which is exactly what the 1964 entry did.
Measures with mics, marks with chalk, cuts with axe, beats to fit and paints to match
