Hoods go to the USA
mangogrooveworkshop - 27/4/06 at 09:35 PM

Robin Hood sportscars are coming to the USA. I have been building "book" frames for people and have had good success with marketing "universal" and Mazda Miata based kits here in the states. I have always been intrigued by the innovation and value of the Robin Hood Kits. The new owners finally showed an interest in exporting, and we have made a deal. Our first container of products will be Lightweights, and Project 2B's. We also are buying pieces from Lolocost. I invite advice and comment directly to my email "covelandllc@aol.com". Maybe someday we will have sold enough to have participation from the USA in RHOCAR

Yanks don't understand quality so they'll probably think the hoods are the mutts nuts too!

They will be marketed as quirky little sports cars from the good ole United Kingdomshire. No doubt playing on the fact that they are one of the only truly British sportscar brands in existance.

It would take a brave man to drive a robinhood in the US ... everything else on the roads is going to outweigh you about 10:1.

Still, will be interesting to see how they get on.

Cheers

Coveland Motorsports as far as I know also has there own miata based frame of reasonable quality. I cant remember if they got them or make them as there was a company making some (cmc maybe). Coveland is also a good british car restorer.
