Description
Beautifully Built Robin Hood built around a 2. 0 litre Ford Pinto SOHC, fitted with twin Webber 45 DCOEs. Lumenition Electronic ignition and type 9, five speed manual gearbox.
Completed in 2004, this excellent example has the full large bore stainless steel tubular construction and full stainless steel bodywork. It has always been stored in a dry garage and rarely been in the rain.

Borg and Beck clutch
Webber twin 45 carbs {new when car was built}

Type 9 Ford Gearbox with quickshift fitted

Oil pressure engine cut-out
Weather Hood and doors (see pictures)
Since last MOT:-
New Lumenition ignition module,
New Starter Motor
New Malpassi competition Filter King 85mm for large engines with pressure gauge
New Battery
Needs tuning by professional previous owner used circuit motors, Castle Combe, Wiltshire. Lots of documentation and receipts. For example of provenance Robin Hood Engineering sold the kit to the builder of the vehicle back in 2001, invoice present. The invoice shows a 30ltr stainless fuel tank purchased.
I bought the vehicle off a nice gentleman who reluctantly had to sell it. The car has been great deal of fun and decided to SORN it to replace worn parts out of my hobby budget. I have been replacing components like the Malpassi competition Filter King to aid tuning (it appears to me to be setup for racing - high revving for instance). The carburettors need some work hence the mention it needs tuning in the advert. Unfortunately, I have now found I have no time available to do what I intentionally started to do, and rather than leave the Robin in the garage unused I thought someone else could make better use of it.
