Who Has The Last 2B

[ivorbigun]

I was sitting here board to death which is a good thing as it means everything's working as it should be

anyhow got to thinking and wondered who really has the last one but I guess there's two categories 1 the last one to be built by GBS and 2 the last kit out of the door ?

the original paperwork for mine tells me that the "superspec" kit left the factory in 2009 not sure which month don't have the paperwork with me,

who has one later than that I wonder?

My 2b was reputably the last 2b factory built by robinhood before they went "bust" a few days after I handed over the cash

My Superspec was acquired from GBS by the original owner on 01/12/2007 it is plated as 003 and has a Sierra Sapphire 2.0 DOHC and was originally plated as E7RHS but the guy wanted too much extra cash to include the number plate so it returned to its G number plate.

 

Hope this is of use.

 

Cheers

Most of our 2B was collected from the old factory (opposite the school ) in September 2008 -- Richard Hall delivered the tote truck himself, this was I believe before the name change to GBS.

I think 2b frank might have the last but 1 got it off eBay when Richard had a clear out, I think that was 3or 4 years ago

To go off on a bit of a tangent, according to https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/make/caterham , there are currently 2,300 Caterham's registered in the UK BUT 1,500 of them are SORN'd

 

That site works by V5 description - anyone know what is written on their V5 for a GBS or RH (I'm interested to know how many GBSs there are)?

 

EDIT: Just noticed that 'Robin Hood' is listed as a make on that site and there are 2 (two) registered in the UK

My v5 states Robin Hood.

Whenever I go through Dartford tube, my computerised bill states special built. I think that is only because they bunch all the unknowns together.

Came with very little documentation from previous edit owner so don't know when bought or built.

Pity RH kept no numbered records of who bought what when.

mine says ROBIN HOOD 2B, it also needs the "2B" including in the "check my car tax" website, does not find it just as ROBIN HOOD.

[Guest 2b cruising]

It does state 2b. Just cutting a little short.

Could be cos I'm a lazy git.
