No first they appeared in the early 1980s. based on Triumph 1500(rwd)/Toledo/Dolomite bits.

I know, it's a 2B like mine!!

I reckon someones trying to spank someone else, definitely not a 1960 if anything thay have used the reg off another car possibly stating a rebodied chasis

Not quite so ominous...my Fury has a date of First Registration of 1980...pre-IVA it was common for a kit to take the year (and sometimes registration number) of the donor.

Registration of kit cars in France, Spain, Italy, etc is so difficult that all sorts of tricks have to be used. The commonest is to make it into a classic and even represent it as a Lotus or whatever. I don't think they are trying to con the buyer. Just fooling their DVLA.

I think RH introduced the 2B in the ninetys, the new design used cut down front Mcpherson struts. Certainly there was no 2B in the sixties.

All Robin Hoods up to 1998 were monocoque
The 2b was designed to pass SVA whereas the Monocoques like mine took a lot more work to pass

Doesnt look like a 2b, the side panel to rear arch join is too straight.


snapper - 21/11/11 at 09:28 AM

It's a 2b, giveaways are
the dash,
the front wishbones
Rear seat belt bar
Wraparound rear steel panel
Rear arches
All this makes it a later Robin Hood.

I didnt think the 2B came in untill 2000/2001, as it was not around (afaiwa) at the 1999 donnington kit car show

I thought the 2b had longer skuttle and smaller bonnet.


Grimsdale - 21/11/11 at 12:19 PM

the 2b has a one piece bonnet / scuttle which some have chosen to cut, and obviously that can be anywhere.
