Looking for a bit of advice, been offered this but the guy does not know much about it as it was a part x. anyone hasard a guess to the year and a value as i don't have a clue, its a Robin hood but unsure of the year,

Thanks Guys here's the pics

looks like a 2b to me so not that old and is that a real cossie in the front i see >?

its worth what you want to pay and what he wants i wouldnt say there was a guide, a 2b is worth around the 4k mark in my eyes, but that lump in the front would make it worth more

read posted below after looking again its not a 2b but has the 2b set up at the front so that would make it much older, might be worth buying for the lump putting in a zetec and selling again.

i'm not sure depends on the work needed? but maybe 5500?

however If you get it and wanna sell the seats let me know!!!

Its not a 2b, its possible a 3 or 3a, the guy that coverted it(about 2-3 yrs ago) lives in the Wigan area, but it was last seen going north on the M6 on a flatbed around 18months ago .

I think it was sold for between 6k-7k, if i remember correctly, his mate built one at the same time (one of them owns a engineering company), spec is up on a normal cossie(chipped bigger turbo), it was chased by a 200+bhp VX hood, which was rapidly being left behind.
I will try and get a email address for the original owner for you

Thanks for that, the guy said it was RR'd at 275bhp IIRC so it should go quite well

if you can get the e-mail that would be fantastic.

what year were the 3's/3a's

heres a link to his mates 2b, the smoke is a little trick we have with plumbers smoke bombs, does say 270bhp, i know they were bloody fast on the way to the show, came from nowhere and shot past one in lane 1 and one in 3, both turbos wistling away

will see what i can do,

wheres it for sale at?,

Where's it being stored? Looks like a flour mill or bodyshop with all that dust!
I presume it has an LSD in the rear??

Heres how to ID the Hoods of various ages and types

Thanks Mitch, Its baised in Norwich so looks like its been about a fair bit, its not advertised the guy wants to part x it for my Clio 20V


so is it a converted 3 as it sah 2b wishbones...

ooops, forgot earlier link

http://nw.rhocar.org/stafford%202005.htm

now im confused, it looks like a 3, from the dash and bulkhead, but the front does look like 2b wishbones,
if you can get the reg number, and contact the boss of the RHclub, he should have some details (name address) of the guy that built it.
I will ask my mate tonight (he bought the VX engine which he was going to put in it before he went for the cossie) and see if hes still got his number.
or ask on the robinhood forum, someone may stilll have his details

Can't help with value (Would need to be seen) but car is definately based on a Series 7 (Not the later series 3 or 3a) and looks to have have been converted to wishbones from the internal suspension set-up used on Series 7's and most 3/3A's

Ta........

how much would you pay for the engine???

the monocock chassis has inherrant probs like crackin - even with moderately powerful engines!!!
