Which Robin Hood is this??

As title really. Can anyone give me a definite ID on this Robin Hood?

And if there is someone on here with the same model I'd love to hear from them.

It looks like an S7 variant but it's a little difficult to be certain from that picture. The front hubs appear to be Sierra - is that correct?

Is it a monocoque construction?

More pics of the whole thing (including one of the front suspension from above) would help

Here's a top view. It's supposedly a tubular chassis. I'm working on this one from a distance via another person. Chinese whispers anyone

Thanks for that. It certainly eliminates a few models but there seem to be a lot of inboard models..

Any more offers from RH experts???

I suspect it may be a home made modification from one of the dreadful sliding pillar cars. The car looks a bit old for inboard suspension.

Maybe ask over on the Rhocar.org forum, a few more Robin Hood experts on there.

There are some pics in the topic below that look very similar to the car you show.

I still think it's a variant of the S7. They were based on Dolomite and then Cortina donors before they went Sierra based. the front end is the same as my Sierra based car. The tube at the bottom of your pic is the steering rack but mine has a frame made of two lengths of angle fastened to the Sierra sub frame. Looks abit different to yours. More pics may be required I'm afraid
