Robin Hood Sports Cars History and Development.
Following the introduction of the SVA test, the Robin Hood 2B range was by far the most prolific of kits sold.
The sales Brochure states Robin Hood has “Clever and Original Innovation” and that’s been pretty much exactly how their business model worked.
They were always looking for ways to promote their product at a very competitive price point.
After Robin Hood discontinued their popular S7 range of monocoque kits, they then introduced the “bent tube” (aka "Tubey") framed chassis kits (the Robin Hood 2B).
The new kit with its exceptionally attractive price point was an instant hit and between the dates of August 21st and December 11th, 1999, exactly 205 kits were collected from the factory.
Trevor owns and built his 2B and he’ll show some of the creative ways that Robin Hood kept kit costs to a minimum, the related build budget, high-spec derivatives and some of the prototypes that never quite made it to production.
Sadly, Robin Hood Sports Cars are no more.
The assets and engineering rights were sold on to Great British Sports Cars in 2006 but the history, passion and fun times live on today in the hearts of passionate owners and the many Robin Hood Kit Car Groups throughout the UK.
