Bargain for somebody on e bay, item number 184628581705 Robin Hood 2b ? I don't thinks so.

Sorry can't do links, or much else for that matter to be honest.

That’s the funniest thing I have seen today

So it’s half a Home built book Locost with questionable welding masquerading as Rh 2b. The original car looks to have been of equal pee poor quality looking at the mot history

The 2009 mot has this carefully worded advisory "build quality very poor" (that is a direct C+P) and consistent mentions of poor wiring over the years.

Think something to avoid at that sort of money. looks like there is a nice collection of bits though.

nothing like an optimistic seller is there

A very misleading ad that. Claiming it to have passed the IVA but in reality just stealing the identity of another car so as to increase the value.

This one makes me chuckle

It looks like he's cut out the scuttle, certainly the windscreen frame, lots of the monocoque in front of the the rear wheels and a cross brace behind the seats, but still says....

"THE COPEN WAS NOT CUT IN HALF TO SHORTEN FOR THIS CONVERSION OR RADICALLY CUT UP ( UNLIKE THE BEETLE FLOORPAN WHICH DOES REQUIRE AN IVA AFTER BEING CUT IN HALF IF REGISTERING CORRECTLY).ALL THE ORIGINAL COPEN RUNNING GEAR WAS USED INCLUDING ENGINE,GEARBOX,SUSPENSION,DRIVESHAFTS,STEERING ETC ETC ETC.THE COPEN BODY WAS TRIMMED IN CERTAIN AREAS TO FIT THE 356 SHELL BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHEN TAKING A “TRIMMED CAR” FOR AN INSPECTION FOR RE REGISTERING."

It's a shame, as I do like some of the rebodies, but the proportions on many of them don't quite work

There is a lot of absolute shyte on fleabay a capri welded to a bmw chassis why? a lambo based Vw thing, and the guys spelling is hilarious

A hideous BMW ac cobra, in so many colours, looks like a brewers colour chart , but what gets me is that some clown has plucked a price of what they think its worth, double it, and advertise it for that ?? none of the below cars are worth £500

My spilling is awflu, but ive allways spill cheked an ebay sell advert

From the well respected manufacturer Robin Hood Dutton.

He’s owned it for a couple of weeks but another project has come along... Right!
