Here we have my Uncles Robin Hood 2b, built in 2004. Unregistered. No VIN plate for kit or for Donor Sierra. Sierra Based with 1.8ltr Pinto engine.
The good bits.
The car has been kept garaged all it’s life.
The car starts, stops and steers.
Body work in good condition.
Cobeau Race seats. As new.
Sabelt 4-point harnesses. As new.
The wheels are in near perfect order with Yokohama tyres all round with no wear.
New battery.
New Fuel Primer.
New front brake calipers
Single Webber Carb with K&N filter
No oil leaks.
All electrics appear to work except for the rear fog light and indicators (new flasher relay in the post)
Lots of paperwork.
The not so good bits.
No VIN plates for kit or donor car.
Incomplete engine bulkhead.
Incomplete inner rear wheel arches.
The large Sierra Rad should really be replaced by a smaller one.
The high position of the rad means that the reservoir can only be located where the battery ideally should be (ie higher than the top of the rad)
The Rad is at an angle which means it's not close enough to the original fan. I do have an electric fan, but the rad should be replaced first before fitting.
I’ve not had this car up to temperature, but I would expect it to have overheating issues .
For the reasons above, the battery is in a compartment in the passenger foot well.
The Yoko tyres are like new, but are 10 years old ☹
The build quality is varied and a lot of it will require attention if this car is to be IVA’ed.
Inertia heater matrix is fitted, but I don't think it's very efficient.
Selling on behalf of my uncle.
Looking for around £1750 or near offers. I'm based in Bishop's Waltham near Southampton.
