onward and upwards eh

[Guest rizla]

you not kiding,the skys the limit it seems for the lightwieght

[Guest Takumi]

I still don't think the Lightwieght will have a long life-span. I'm convinced the front suspension mountings into aluminium box section will fracture the box secton after lots of duty. I sure the new owner will cut and run within the next 2 years.. and maybe disappear in a freak yachting accident in the Canary Islands...

 

But I'm sure they will be fine for road driving . . .

"Robin Hood Sportscars now under the control of former Humbrol/Airfix boss Ian Rowley."

So at least it should be stuck together properly.

[Guest chris brown]

Interesting I just hope he sticks to it and doesn’t cut and run as Takumi suggests as I am waiting for the all wishbone 2B to come out (strongly hinted at Harrogate).

[Guest johnboymac]

"In another move announced this week, Robin Hood have established a partner company in the South of England, who are an ex-F1 and current multi-million pound race preparation company and they will be developing a race-spec version of the Lightweight. The objective is to build a winning product that can be supplied, fully built or in kit form at a price unheard of in the race/trackday marketplace and the car will debut at Exeter in November."

 

Anyone guess who the "ex-F1 and current multi-million pound race preparation company" in the South of England are??

[Guest TerryBarry]

There are loads of companies with a finger in F1 south of Silverstone.

I wonder what Tom Walkinshaw is up to these days after the Arrows fiasco.

[Guest feralsprint]

Toms been over in Asia building a new parts group, and out here in Australia helping run the Holden Racing Team and trying to buy back Holden Special vehicles, seems like even total disaster can keep him down

You dont even have to go that far south Terry.

I spoke to the new MD on Saturday. He seemed a rreally nice bloke and obviously has plans for the company. Firslty he has aquired a couple of companies and he is looking to go into competition with Caterham and Westfield, albeit not with the Robin Hood marque. He wants to keep RH a good value builders car and is brining out a new model next year, which he says will be a lighter weight version of the 2b and with all wishbone suspension.

 

He has hooked up with a race developer to create a race tuned lightweight which can be built out of the box or converted from a standard kit incrementaly as funds allow. This is intended to really compete on the track.

 

In addition the european market has opened up and he is after second habd cars to refurbish and establish a second hand business with part exchange options too!

 

Not bad going!
