My friend sadly had a stroke a couple of years ago and has asked me to help shift an old project he has in the garage. He isn’t able to articulate what it is, and I have no idea either. There is an engine and diff underneath the chassis, and I suspect none of it has any value?

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure that’s a Robin Hood 2B which will have possibly been based off of a Ford Sierra running gear maybe. Not sure about the engine and box from the photos though I am afraid.

I'd say you're right - t'internet throws this up as an image of the RH 2b




Not sure if its just me, but it looks horribly flimsy around the cabin / seating area - way too many bent tubes in there....

its a pinto engine, and looks like a sierra diff, so you could be right

Is that the robin hood that was clad in stainless? Added lots of rigidity if so.

To the question. There must be someone interested in robin hoods that would take it? Not for much money maybe.

There is a UK group on Facebook "Robin Hood Owners UK", with 4600 members. That would be the best avenue to sell it.
