^^^ yeah it looks like a 2B with sliding b pillars
See here:
http://nw.rhocar.org/identification.htm
Its a poor suspension design that had issues, alot of cars were converted to double wishbone setups...

Yes its definately a Robin Hood 2b with sliding pillars.
The sliding pillars can be made to function well, if built correctly. They will never be as good as wishbones but can perform decently. See the RHOCAR
forum for details on sliding pillar set ups. There is a few on there that are currently building some up.

I'd say about £500 but £350 of that would be for the injected pinto engine and box.

Go to RHOCaR forum
IMHO it's a bit of a wreck and doesn't even look like its a Stainless steel version

unfortunatley those generations of robins arent worth much anyway and next to nothing in this built-stage / condition.
so i would also recommend selling it in parts.
