Mid Engine

[Guest SMR610]

I was flicking through some old kit car mags the other day and I noticed a feature on a mid engine`d `7` that Robin Hood had developed, I think it was called the RHM1000 and was Metro based.

 

Just out of interest, does anyone know if this car ever went into production?

pretty sure it did coz the bloke who i bought my exmo off gave me lots of paperwork, this included paperwork for this metro kit for some reason.

Don't know much about it apart from it was cheap,

so if you need to know anymore i'll take a look at the papers if you like,

Lew,

Sounds like it possibly did go into

production then.

If you`ve got any more info I would

like to know but like I said it`s only

out of interest so don`t go digging

all your paperwork out just for that

it`s not important.

Cheers

IIRC, RHE also shoe-horned a Jag V12 into a 7 replica - I remember seeing it at a show many moons back.....

 

Any got any piccies? Remember it was a bit of a squeeze under the bonnet!

Re mid engined car, it was at a show in sort of kit form as I remember but I am pretty certain it didn't get into production. The proportions looked a bit wrong and something that looks like a seven should be front engined, rear drive. Mid engined cars should be pretty and modern looking so there! The V12 seven? is pictured in the Sierra 7 build manual, it is a pretty poor photocopy but I could try to scan it. Someone in the club magazine was trying to buy it/track it down a few years ago. Goodness knows how it was cooled though!

Could that be why it was always seen with the bonnet open!?

The last time i saw the v12 was in the factory "showroom" when i called in a few years ago.
