My 2B now needs to go to a new home so I'm posting it here first before it goes anywhere else.

Robin Hood 2B V8, epic performance, ultra reliable. Built by me and IVA’d in 2011, correctly registered as Robin Hood on V5. Originally built with a 2.0 Pinto then upgraded to a V8 in 2015. MOT’d until November 2026. Huge folder of receipts, loads of build photos, absolute fortune spent. Specification as follows

Engine

Rover 4.6 V8. Cross bolted high compression block. Done around 17k miles since fitted, was rebuilt with new rings (Std), big end (Std) and main bearings (+.010”), cam bearings. Block surfaces decked. Piper 270 cam, new cam followers, timing chain and gears. New oil pump and has an oil cooler fitted. Ported 10 bolt cylinder heads fitted with big valves (1.63” inlet and 1.4” exhaust). Kent cams uprated valve springs (one coil less). ARP cylinder head studs. Adjustable pushrods and steel rocker arms. SD1 flywheel. MIJ stainless steel 3” side exhausts. Custom lowered and baffled bump. Serpentine drive belt and water pump, Coolman Cortina radiator, never ever overheats, even in traffic on the hottest days.

Fuel injected with Emerald K6 ECU, Innovate MT-X lambda controller.

Recently dyno’d at just over 270bhp and torque is around 378Nm but it’s not all about the numbers. Will happily drive at 20mph in 5^th so very lazy when you want it to be.

Transmission

Ultra rare R380 RWD gearbox fitted with taller 5^th gear set (0.732:1 was 0.77:1). Custom Dave Mac propshaft with heavy duty universal joints. Helix 240mm heavy duty TVR clutch.

Rear Axle

Cosworth Scorpio 7.5” viscous LSD, 3.64:1. Cosworth driveshafts. Polybushed suspension arms.

Suspension

GBS front wishbone upgrade (removes bump steer from the original setup. Gaz coilovers all round. Springs – Front 8” 300lb, Rear 10” 300lb

Brakes

Front - Sierra Cosworth 283x24mm vented discs. Mondeo Mk2 calipers, Rear – Sierra

253x10mm solid discs and calipers. Peugeot 306 master cylinder. MGB handbrake lever.

Wheels And Tyres

JBW minilite replicas, 6” x 15” front, 7” x 15” rear. 205/50 15 tyres.

Interior / exterior

Fully carpeted, fibreglass seats. ETB gauges. Premier wiring harness. Lucas wiper motor, classic mini heater. Driver and passenger headsets with intercom – yes, it is noisy. Comes with lift off doors and Surrey top. Decent sized boot, fully lined so stuff stored in there doesn’t get wet. Also comes with a removeable aluminium hard top. Has an opening rear window and roof vents. I custom made this for the car but haven’t really used it that much but it might as well go with the car. The photos with the hardtop fitted are from 2014, before the V8 was fitted all the other photos are recent. Full stainless steel chassis and stainless panels, Wrapped in 3M fiery orange vinyl.

This is a properly sorted, well-built car, not Sikaflex, expanding foam and dodgy wiring. Price reflects quality of build and parts used. Genuine reason for sale – I have another car I’m building, and this one isn’t really getting the use it deserves. If it sells it sells, but I’m not giving it away.

If you’re interested, read the next bit carefully  because it’s important.

I’m open to sensible offers but will only do a deal face to face. I’m happy to see genuine buyers but don’t want my time wasted. If you ask for the lowest price or message me with offers, you will be ignored. Don’t come to view if you don’t have the funds to buy it, or if you need to get approval from your wife / partner (they probably won’t like it anyway). No test drives without proof of insurance. Everyone says their kit car is fast, this really is and it’s quite capable of finding your talent level and surpassing it.

This has got to be one of the best 2Bs out there. Richy's workmanship is second to none.

This car should be worth twice Richy's asking price, the drive train alone is worth that much. If you're looking for a 7 style kit this has to be the bargain of the year. I would bite his hand off for it if I could sneak it home without my wife noticing 😜.

The first serious buyer to see this is going to buy it and think they've stolen it.

Hi.

If anyone needs any help with short term insurance for this vehicle then please feel free to drop me a line.

Regards,

Dan.

I have know Richard for a number of years and I have to say is work is outstanding. In my opinion this is one of the best Robin Hoods on the road.

If I had not purchased a Cobra last year I would snap his hand off.

Well it looks like it's off to a new owner shortly.

I didn't think you'd have any trouble selling it - anyone we know ?
