Some of the earlier Robin Hood models did suffer some adverse publicity.
I understand the company was sold to Great British Sportscars, who have completely re marketed the product and are producing some very fine turnkey cars and kits. If you buy one of their kits they will even arrange an IVA pre-test and IVA inspection
With the Mazda MX5 now able to be used as a donor I suspect they will sell a lot more kits in the future.
