V8 Reliant Robin

Ok, not sure if this is such a good idea but the Robin is up for sale.

It is starting to become a bit of an obsession and I want my life back !!!

It is fitted with a rover 3500cc V8, 4 sp manuel box, disc braked rear axle and a full cage.
The first three pics are from when it was first built, the last one is only a few weeks old,

If anyone is interested then I can post more photos and details.

More Info,
The Robin was built originally back in the early nineties, took about three years in total. It was fully road legal with tax and test, still got 2 old mot`s so no SVA problems.
It became quite well known, featuring in every national newspaper and even appearing on Sky news. I still have all the paper cuttings and the video. The Sun newspaper even had a competition to find the fastest Robin in the country, which it won easily. I used to run it at the drag strip regular,still have all the old timing slips. They range from its first time out running 20 sec @70 mph to its best of 13.4 sec @ 104 mph. It was way under geared. Setting off in second and hitting top well before the half way point.
I eventually sold the Robin to a guy from North Yorks.
Last year I managed to track down the car and buy it back. I have been restoring it since.
Current work done,
Engine and box removed, checked, serviced, cleaned,painted and refitted
Recond starter motor and altenator fitted
All suspension removed, checked, painted and refitted
New clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder
New front brake cyclinders, linings and hoses
New brake pipes through out
Rear calipers reconditioned and new pads
S/H Alfa alloys with 205/60/15 tyres, Should rise the gearing by 10%
Chassis and cage checked, cleaned and repainted

Work left to do,
Modify the rear arches for the bigger wheels
Respray the shell
Fit the seat belts

To make it road legal again it might need a mechanical handbrake fitted. Easiest way to do this would be to fit Fiat x19 rear calipers that have the cable handbrake and would be a staight swop.

The V5c is in my name, has been for the last 18yrs, and states engine size as 3500cc. Its not sorn at the moment, does not need it as its not on the sorn system as yet. was last taxed in 92.
