  • 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 ?

    Baston Car Show

    By alanrichey,

    The annual Baston Car Show is again being held at Grimsthorpe Castle this year on Sunday 9th July.

    https://www.bastoncarshow.com/

    https://www.grimsthorpe.co.uk/

    Unfortunately they have decided to charge for all attendees regardless of whether they are classics on not.   They also need your car the have been registered before 2000 if you wish to park in the exhibition area.    Doesn't help me as mine was SVAd in 2008.   Frustrating as it is only 1.5 miles from me 😀  I also don't approve of classic/kit cars being charged unless it is for charity and I can see no sign of that.

    So I shall skip it, but if you fancy going it should be a good show.

    By Kerry,

    We have registered for this event and there are still place’s available. If anyone else is going it would be a good idea to meet on the outskirts of MH and run in together as a club. 
    please post if you are considering attending and we will put a plan together.

    East of England Meets for June

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Now that Malvern has gone it's time to go local again.  And we need to make the most of this weather.   So we don't need a cafe/garden centre anymore, we can start having a picnic again.

    While I was walking round Rutland Water yesterday I found some 'hidden' car parks that are well off the beaten track.   Not only are they quiet, at £3/day they are cheaper than the main ones (£4 for less than 2 hours).   And even better news is that the pay machines are broken so at the moment parking is free  (but bring 3 x £1 coins just in case they fix them over the weekend).

    So let's go for 13:00 on Tuesday 13th for our first summer meet.  Don't forget to bring chairs and food/drink.  I'll provide the weather.

    Here's the location, just take the South road at the Barnsdale crossroads, go past the Hotel, turn left at the bottom and follow the road to the car parks.  Unfortunately there are sleeping policeman on the road but they are relatively gentle.

    Everyone welcome
