  • Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club

    The aim of the club is to help and support members during the build (and inevitable ongoing maintenance and modification) as well as to plan and organise events throughout the year. The Club attends the major kit car shows throughout the year providing a stand with tea and coffee, plus a BBQ with food for members. You'll be warmly received, especially if you bring more food and drink !! We also have stands at many other shows all around the country.

    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 ?

    Lincolnshire Meetings For June

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Hi all

     

    I know we are only half way through May but I thought I would give everyone a 'heads-up' for June for your diaries.

     

    On Saturday 13th June, Richard (richard7), Mick & Stella (mowerman) and I will probably again attend the "HorsePower at the Hall" meet (https://www.facebook.com/horsepoweratthehall, I see we are still their cover photo :)) at Doddington Hall near Lincoln, from 09:00 to 12:00. Even with the rain there were still about 100 cars turned out at the May meet, so if the weather if half way decent there should be a much better turnout. A great chance for catching up with everyone, in a petrol-head environment, with a pub lunch afterwards for those interested.

     

    On Sunday 21st there is the annual Castle Bytham Midsummer Fair (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/). We had 9 cars there last year and I know everyone who went enjoyed it. It is a 'classic' village show (stalls, classic cars, BBQ, duck race, beer tent, morris dancers, BBMF flypast......). The organisers have said we are welcome to come back, and as the theme this year is the 60s, it is appropriate that they display lots of Lotus 7 lookalikes. Please let me know if you are interested so I can give them a rough idea of numbers.

     

    Still looking for a good weekend for a picnic meet up at Rutland Water :)

    Stamford Car Show 2015

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    The Stamford Car Show for 2015 is being held on 30th August. Last year this was a very good show and much appreciated by those that attended. But a few people missed out by not registering before the cutoff date. So if you think you might want to go this year I suggest you register now at http://www.stamfordroundtable.co.uk/car-show/

     

    As it is run for charity there is a £5 entry fee for each car on arrival, but It's free to register,so you have nothing to lose by registering now. Unusually the public get in for free so it is always very well attended.

     

    Please make sure you define your car as a 'Modern Classic' then I'll organise a rendevous point somewhere on the A1 near Stamford so we can arrive in convoy and be parked together.

     

    I'll try and arrange good weather :)

    By Dean Roberts,

    Is anybody in the Midlands going to this event?

     

    If the weather is kind, then it could be a good day out on Saturday and the the hosts have offered a select area to show off the cars.

    But this looks a very small (new) charity event on the 16th May.

     

    Andi posted the event here: http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=41771

     

    But more info is here:
