Update - I have got my license back! So if you see a grey defender approaching, it may well be me

So I haven't been on the forum for quite some time, but after going to Stoneleigh today and seeing a few people I thought I should pay up my membership and get back on the forum.

Some of you may know, via Facebook, but most of you will not. I had a cardiac arrest on 23rd Dec in the car park of Ikea (Sheffield). Had CPR, 6-7 shocks from a defib and was brought back. Spent all Xmas and new year in the Northern General Hospital. Had an ICD fitted on the 5th Jan and was discharged.

I'm on the road to recovery, waiting to be able to reapply for my licence (gotta wait 6 months) but getting stronger and more confident as the time goes on.

Hope to see more of you all at future event.

Look after one another and stay safe people

I'm coming. The first time in how many years! Hope to see you all later

unfortunatey it doesn't have a heater, so I think stopping at lots of services will be the option for using the hand dryers to warm up and coffee to keep awake

So the car has a new owner, who is currently driving it back up to Scotland.

Safe Journey Stephan.

If anyone sees him give him a wave

Here are some more images:

Well its come to that time when I have made the decision to sell my 2B.

So here goes:

Its a Robin Hood 2B with a 2L Pinto engine with an injection head.

It Has ZX9R bike carbs on a Danst Engineering Manifold

Type 9 5speed gearbox and sierra rear end.

Martin Keenan Custom built Silencer - giving it a sweet noise and put a smile on your face each time you start it

It has Full weather gear that fits

Has a set of 5 Uniroyal Rain sport 3 tyres that have done around 400 miles since fitted last year ago.

There are numerous other spares that will be sold with the kit. These include a Front Geometry kit purchase form GBS for the vehicle but never fitted, A brand new set of GAZ shocks that are still in their boxes.


The paint on the body is flaking in a few places, but its superficial, just a rub down, some primer and a respray and it will be as good as new

The log book is correct and its registered as a Robin hood 2B
Its MOT'd until April 2018. Its covered 16,708miles
I'm looking for £3995

I'm located in Crawley - will answer all questions and anyone who wants to view the kit with an eye to buy is welcome

Picture of the kit are here:

Nice!

Ticket bought. We can only make the Saturday night. Do you need me to email you a copy?

We will be coming, Will get payment sorted and form emailed by the end of the week. Not sure if we will be one or 2 nights though

Thanks guys

Hi All

Need some help.

I'm looking at getting new shocks and springs for the 2B, however, I know they are going to want loads of measurements from me and I have no idea what or how to measure them.

Does anyone out there have a comprehensive list of these measurements that I could use so that I can give them to Dampertech, protech etc so I can get correct prices and parts before I order?

Its a 2b with wishbones and has original zimmermans on it

Thanks

Si

Guys

I had an issue down here in Crawley getting the kit tested and it failing the emissions due to an age related plate and thus them trying to test for emissions.

The MOT inspection manual: classes 3,4, 5 & 7 vehicles ( found here on DVSA Site) states in section 7.3 Exhaust Emissions - Spark Ignition - Non CAT test on the flow chart:

"For emissions purposes only, kit cars and amateur built vehicles first used before 1 August 1998 and W*nkel^** rotary-engined vehicles first used before 1 August 1987 are to be considered as first used before 1 August 1975."

- I even called DVSA this morning and they confirmed this to be true, as long a the first used date is before 1st August 1998.

I called my test centre that failed the car and explained it all to them, they admitted that the emissions testing of kits is a grey area and will be doing the visual smoke test tomorrow afternoon

Here is the flow diagram from DVSA document.

Hope this helps others

** Thinks W*nkel is a rude word so removed the a
