  • Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club

    Heritage logo

    The Committee would like to congratulate Heritage Insurance on their 60th Anniversary in 2025

    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 ?

    Pig At Newark !

    Guest shaggy
    By Guest shaggy,

    Hmmm, I always look for to a bit of a pig out at Newark, but see from events in the mag that the pig is off the menu.

     

    I realise there was quite a bit left over last year as many hardcore attebdees of the show were put off by a bit of rain, but it really is the highlight of my year (don't get out much these days).

     

    Seems a damned shame and I'm sure there is good justification behind the withdrawal of this.

    We are going to have the BBQ on the club stand on the Sunday. We will be doing burgers from midday for club members with a suggested minimum donation of £1.50. This will Be for members only due to food handling regulations. Tea and coffee will be available through out the show on the club stand with a donations pot. It would be much appreciated if members camping could use their own cups and not the disposable ones. The BBQ will also be available in the club camping area in the evening forebears to cook their own food on. I shall be getting about 96 burgers and buns for the Sunday on the Stand so when they are gone they are gone. Help with the BBQ at lunch would be much appreciated, if you can help please let me know

    Due to unforeseen circumstances it has been necessary to restore the RHOCaR website to a previous version.

     

    This has led to a small loss of recent data and content but all other aspects should be normal.

     

    We ask that if you have uploaded any content in the last week, you do so again please - this issue will not reoccur again.

     

    Thank you for your on-going support.
