Robin Hood exmo
Hi
Is this a good starting point into kit cars, it looks like it may need some work but up for the challenge. Is the price right though?

Any advice would be a great help

I'd say, no and no. The folded stainless chassis had (AFAIK) issues in design.

Trust me on this one.
I had a similar folded (brittle) stainless 3A handled like a bucket of sloppy porridge.
There is not a good reason to buy one or similar
Just say no!
The sickness started in 2001 with a Robin Hood 3A, Prelit Westy,Tiger Cub, Tiger Avon, Tiger R6, 16v Mini, Sylva Fury Fireblade, Westfield Sei,
Mallock Mk11, Fireblade Locost, Tiger Avon, Procomp LA Gold, Mk26 Mallock...........and now a Mk18 Mallock.....LR750, Vandiemen FX02

Much better examples available. Look for one with a space frame chassis from a recognised manufacturer or a locost chassis if you know what to look
out for.
