I'm shocked reading this today Only 'know' him from Pf. Thoughts are with family and friends.

RIP Rod. Many a day spent at MAD HQ, shows, Brunters (and other airfields) and rolling roads. Sad loss to your family and also the Cosworth scene in general.

I met Rod once at Marks place, he was so helpful and I enjoyed our chat, his enthusiasm was infectious for the Cosworth brand.Very misunderstood over the forums I think.A genuine lovely fella. RIP Rod.

Thanks. Lee.

You're welcome Kay, Rod as you know was a bit of a legend in the Cosworth scene, with Marks help pushing the boundaries of what could be achieved.
But he always put his family first - best wishes to you and yours.

I hope you are all coping as well as can be expected.

If you or the family need any help with anything please let us know as we can assemble a Passionford Posse to help out where we can.

So sad to be reading this :-(

​i haven't been on here and didn't realise til just now rod had passed away, I was going to msg him and ask how his saph was coming along.

Rip mate, rod was the start of my own hunger for serious power I yearned for the figures his saph could produce I for one will never forget him, I hope his saph has gone to a home that will keep it much the same as he had it

The Saph is for sale at the moment and not much money either for what it is

And it already has over 700 Bhp and 5 seats.

I have marks number but I'm not going to call him and waste his time, I was looking for something alot newer, this would have to be an addition purchase to my new family car, I just need some pondering time if it was advertised gives me something to look at

Crazy what the family want for it there just looking for closure on it. Was talking to mark about the car and he was saying he hopes someone buys it and puts a 3.9 diff in it to liven it up even more. You know it’s a quick car when he say it would be a mental road car like that!
