Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club
The Committee would like to congratulate Heritage Insurance on their 60th Anniversary in 2025
It's not just shows though, our active area secretaries and members regularly arrange run outs and longer trips to such places as Le Mans, Wales and Scotland, plus the annual club camping weekend and the traditional “end of season” get together. Keep an eye on the events section of the forum for news and details of upcoming events.
The Club also produces four magazines a year, exclusively for club members, filled with all manner of things club or motoring related, and members can get their own articles published in it as well if they wish.
The Club is an independent organisation, and although we have our roots as the Robin Hood Owners Club and Register (RHOCaR), we are very much a club for all makes and model of kit car, so anyone can be a "Hoody", as it's all about the state of mind, not the car you drive! Being a member of The UK Kit Car Club has many benefits above those already mentioned. Members benefit from discounted insurance with nearly all of the specialist kit car insurers, and often find that the discount is more than the club membership fee. Membership also gets you full access to the forum, and a variety of other discounts such as with Euro Car Parts. You'll also find other members are willing to go well above and beyond for any other member they see is in need of help !
So whether you own a Robin Hood, a GBS Zero, a Locost, an MK, a Westfield, a Caterham, (or any of the many other types of kit car), everyone can benefit from joining, so what are you waiting for ?

North East Area Monthly Meeting Tuesday March 25th 7pm
Time for our monthly get together at the Church Mouse Chester Moor DH2 3RJ, looking forward to hearing how all are getting on with your projects. I have given my kit a wash and polish then went out on a 100 mile run on a sunny day and still managed to get it filthy again. See you all Tuesday .
Silverstone Festival 2025
Hi everyone, looking to book tickets to Silverstone Festival 2025 in the next week or so, I was looking through the clubs list and don't seem to see us on there, is there a plan to have a club stand at this event as it's usually a very good one! If not, does anyone know of a club stand who would be accommodating? Thanks all!
West Midlands Monthly Meet 26th March 2025

Next Wednesday 26th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.
Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat.
Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.
Everyone welcome.
Leicestershire Jaguar meeting

The club have been invited to the Leicestershire area Jaguar meeting on 20th May at Beedles Lakes golf club, Broome Lane, East Goscote LE7 3WQ at 7.00pm.
It would be good if we can get a good turn out, weather being kind.
Who would be interested please post your names.
Thanks guys.
Super Spec purchase

Hi All,
I’m considering buying a superspec that’s been laid up for a few years. The current owner has never run the engine having bought it after the previous owner had started to apparently remove the engine wiring loom ready for an engine change to a turbo version. The current owner has had a new loom made and has attempted to start the engine but hasn’t had it fire. He’s also stripped the interior out, removed the windscreen to put in a carbon fibre dash and aero screens.
Having already got a 2b+ that I built myself 20 yrs ago I thought a project kit car for my 15yr old son would be a good way to get for him to gain knowledge of cars and look good on his cv.
Just after a reality check…. Am i mad?

Kimbolton Car Show 13th July 2025
This is a brilliant show with loads of cars, music, side stalls, acts in the arena etc.
For a number of reasons we haven't had many members attend last year & 2023 but hopefully we'll get a good turn out this year.
Anyone who is interested in going can you please stick a note on this post, we can then see if there is enough interest to justify asking them for a club plot.
Thanks, Steve

Anyone Recognise what this is?


Anyone Recognise what this kit is other than one that appears to have had it's identity removed, this is a total guess & not an accusation but from the looks of it it's been used, so either on the donor plates, or the plates are now on another vehicle.
