Depends on which moel of Robin Hood I suppose but one is a factory manufactured chassis made on a jig and the other is a home made garage chassis. Not
that it ends here and not that it makes one better than the other but there are quite a few differences. If you could be a little more specific
regards certain parts i.e. chassis, running gear, bodywork then it may help to form a better answer.

robin hoods are just another type of 7 styled car from a different manufacturer, just like mnr or mk, they are all 7 styled cars but they've
added their own twists to the design.
Locosts are usually built from scratch from plans and being as tight ar5ed as possible during the build.

and one can be completed within a year the other can take 10
A man isn't complete until he's married, then he's finished

Which Robin Hood?
The Zero is close to a locost chassis.
Others range from stainless steel round tube frames with dubious triangulation to monocoques.

You can build one for £250 and the other will be worth £250 when it's built.
