  • 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 ?

    The gite can be seen at http://www.homeaway.co.uk/p421125

    Foreign Exchange Leics To Salisbury

    Andi
    By Andi,

    Just getting a feeling for an exchange visit to Bob`s.

    Thinking about travelling down on Friday afternoon 10th July, camping over, a run out on Saturday camping over and then the run

    back on Sunday.

    We spoke about it briefly at the meeting last night and folk wanted me to put it up on here so they could check diaries etc.

    We would find a non motorway route down so as not to be mind numbed by that particular route.

    Wives and partners are encouraged to come along and you don`t have to live in Leics.

     

    We originally spoke of 2 possible dates but Bob can`t do one of them.

    Open to suggestions.

    Peterborough Classic And Vintage Vehicle Show

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Just a heads up that this Show is on the weekend of 5/6 Sep (http://www.peterborough.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/events_and_festivals/classic_and_vintage_vehicles.aspx). You have to pre-register at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VehicleRegistration

     

    Camping is available and also the option of having a Club Stand. Not sure if there will be enough interest to justify a stand though. And it is the weekend just before the end-of-season bash so I guess we will be busy getting ready for that.

    By Guest Howtightpet,

    Hi guys

    We have just found out we are both off together these dates so will be going to stoneleigh, never been before for kit car show.

    What's the best option please ie. Camp as we cannot tow caravan or find a hotel happy with either

     

    I see there is a club stand. So do the cars have a arrival time and exit time ?

     

    So what we are really asking is where are going to have a blast and a good weekend. We are free from the Saturday.

     

    Waiting with bated breath
