Announcement:

Great British Sports Ltd. is pleased to announce its recent acquisition of all the assets of Robin Hood Sports Cars Ltd, a leading manufacturer of Kit Cars and their components including, chassis, manifolds, suspension, fuel tanks and a wide range of in-house manufactured items.

Included in the purchase is the Lolocost business-a leading supplier of parts to the kit car market.

The team at GBS consists of real kit car enthusiasts (both builders and owners) and has a genuine ambition to re-establish Robin Hood as the number one manufacturer of “affordable” British sports cars.

The business was acquired by Ian Rowley and Richard Hall and all of the Robin Hood employees have been retained.

The former owners of Robin Hood and its parent companies are not involved in GBS Ltd and have played no part in its formation or in its funding.

The priority for the GBS team will be the launch of the new Hood chassis later this year and the servicing of both existing and new customer requirements.

Robin Hood cars will continue to be sold under their current model names and the full range of historical and current model parts are available.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us using the original Robin Hood numbers and e-mail addresses.

Tel 01623 422286 (general enquiries) 01623 420734 (Lolocost parts)

A few facts :

1) This board is run on behalf of RHOCaR, I am not not RHOCaR, in fact I'm not even an official in the club

2) RHOCaR has no financial involvement with RHSC, RHOCaR is purely a non-profit owners Kit car club.

3) This board is moderated by all the local area secretaries, myself and the board of management at RHOCaR.

4) Almost all recent decisions on this board regarding the posting/removal of information has been made via approved moderation (Not a single person doing it on there own). And secondly all deleted posts are kept and can be reviewed by all moderators.

5) I pay for and run this server and webspace free of charge, the only money I have every asked for from RHOCaR was the cash to pay for the new board software.

With this is mind, I received two phone calls yesterday morning (Friday). Both at 06:45, where my wife answered it at first and the guy was asking for rh-o-car, she thought he had the wrong number (Well she had just been woken up), but he called straight back. I had recognised the RHOCaR bit so answered the phone the second time, mentioned the fact it was 06:45 and he said sorry and hung up on me. Today we received another phone call at 06:23 waking us both up (and my son 5) but this time they hung up on her as soon as she answered.

I hope you are enjoying waking up my family (Myself, wife and son, luckily my daughters are at the other end of the house) for whatever reason, but please stop it. When you have young children and are up in the night (Bed wetting replacement duty) then get woken up early, it really isn't nice. And I can honestly not think of one thing that I could of done online (on this board) to deserve this, yet alone punish my whole family.

Quite simply if it happens again, I will suspend the whole board, then on top of annoying me, you can annoy the whole community. Please feel free to post in chit chat about this....

We have had a couple of people join the board to sell, while I'm not against this, I do think it would of been nice if the various members had contacted a moderator first, to find out if this is ok.

This is a posting from Westfield Sportscars.

 

Anyone who has lost their deposits for their Robin Hood need not despair

 

Westfield Sportscars will offer a £250 voucher to spend when ordering a Westfield Single Donor Vehicle either Sierra Powered or MX5 powered.

 

 

Did you know you can build a Westfield less than you think? In some cases even less than building “SOME” Robin Hood

 

Sometimes the perception is that building a Westfield is expensive. We are almost unique in this kit car industry because we give you the honest up front cost of your kit including VAT before you start the build – not during you build like a lot of manufactures.

 

Call 01384 400077 or email info@westfield-sportscar.co.uk to find out more.

Passing SVA isn’t a problem with our technical help line

I'm prepared to make an offer to help those effected by the Lightweight saga.

 

I run GTS Tuning, and Kit Car Builds, as part of Kit Car Builds we offer a SVA test package. In this package we do a pre-SVA test check, including a pre-MOT to check brakes and immisions etc, we also take the car to the test centre and do any obvious small failure points, and then we do all the paper work for the registration. For this we normally charge £655.

 

In a former life i was a senior design engineer in F1, and have CAD and other advanced engineering systems in house.

 

What i'm prepared to do is to take one of your completed Lightweights to our local SVA station (with whom we have a good relationship) and see what the exact issues are, and attempt to develop a retro fit kit to solve the problems. All i want is a completed car and for the owner to pay for the SVA test itself.

 

Any one losing out on a RH order can have a £250 discount from our Deluxe Starter kit, of our Panther or W7DE models, see www.gtstuning.co.uk for details of the kit and its contents. You will also be included in our new build mentor service that aims to gaurantee an easy build and all the support you need to complete your car to a high standard.

 

Hopefull these offers will help support you owners that feel you have lost out.

 

Please PM DozRacing

An official post about RHSC will be coming very soon, please watch this space.

EDIT : Please do NOT PM me, becasue I know as much as you.

I'll be going down on the Saturday morning, setting off from Knutsford services at 9-30am sharp, anyone wishing to travel in convoy, you're welcome.

and before anyone asks, no i'm not camping.

Jim
