  • 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 ?

    Access is from 10am on Saturday pay for camping at the gate. Please note no entry into the halls is permitted until 9.30am on Sunday. A lunch time BBQ will be started at 12pm on the club stand where members can obtain a burger in the usual way with the suggested donation of £1 for none members it's £20 with a free membership and hog roast ticket .

    The agm will be held at 4pm in the warwick centre next to our camping area where hog roast tickets will be issued upon proof of membership. Hog roast will be provided at around 7pm depending on their setup time.

    A live band will be provided in the Warwick centre on the Sunday night sponsored by ckc magazine or the usual fun, frolics and drunken antics will be taking place in the camping area.

    I hope we can make this a fun and enjoyable event for all. As a side note it is also Beckys (the current treasurers) 40th birthday weekend so hope you can all assist in making this as special as rhocar can for her!

    Any questions ask away, can I please ask that if you are able to help out in anyway with the weekend please don't be shy I will be dropping club gear off am Saturday but need to be away by just after 12 due to Beckys birthday party and will not be back until Sunday morning.

    Hope to see you all there in good spirits And enjoying the spoils.

    Hopefully the attachment works as I have had to do this on my phone. The areas are supposed to be marked on the map but are not showing on my phone. Referr to stand numbers above and will try and sort when I get to a laptop

    Best regards

    Keith kelly,
    Events secretary



    UPDATE FROM GROSVENOR SHOWS: Following contact from club members regarding camping arrangements they are no longer willing to allow us to use our traditional camping area and Grosvenor shows have now advised that we MUST NOT camp on plot 64. As such we please head for area 62 on the map where we will corden off an area exclusively for RHOCaR members

    Blyton Park (Track Day) 8/7/18

    Matt brown
    By Matt brown,

    While we work on getting a track day organised by the club i thought we could get at least one pre-booked track day in.

     

    I think i have found a good option for everyone.

     

    TRACK: Blyton park (Eastern circuit)

    DATE: 8/7/18 (SUNDAY)

     

    PRICE: £139

     

    For people that have been to Blyton before, this is not the standard track layout and looks to be more suited to 7 type cars with more turns.

    The trackday can be booked through 'Javelin trackdays' through this link

    http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackdays/July/Blyton-Park-8th-July-2018

     

    The format for the day is as follows

    Layout : Eastern Circuit (1.4 miles) Format : Open Pit Lane Noise : 95dba Drive By Overtaking : Right Hand Side on Straights Only


    If you are interested in this event please let me know as if there is enough of us i may be able to get us a discount for the club, or you can just book yourself on with the link above and post on here so we know who is going.

    Hope this is a good start for people towards new events for the club!!

    By Guest scoobydo71,

    Hi people,

    Planning to drive my stainless to the show on Sunday just to hello really but, I could possibly be available on Sat to help set up? Only driven my car 6 miles so far (with several fuel supply breakdowns). Fancy pants new Facet pump fitted and I'm quietly confident.

     

    Going to try and find time the in evenings and Fri to prove reliability.

     

    Anyway, I'm really local (just near Kenilworth) so, if you feel that you need a hand just post a reply.

     

    Greg.

    keith kelly
    By keith kelly,

    Does any one have a cool box i can borrow for stoneleigh to keep the burgers in?? Ideally Leicester or notts so i can pick up but if one can be brought to stoneleigh that would be great.

     

    many thanks

     

    Keith


    Lincolnshire Meet For May

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Obviously Stoneleigh will be the main meeting for May, but that leaves us 3 weeks before the end of the month, hopefully with good weather.

     

    It's time we had a meeting in the South, so I propose Saturday 19th May, and that we go to the Nene Valley Railway station at Wansford ( It obviously has plenty to look around (I actually learnt to drive a steam train there a couple of years ago) has a picnic area and a cafe.

     

    Obviously weather dependent, so this is just something to pencil in. I'll go into greater detail nearer the date,

     

    So far I have interest from:

     

    1. Me

    2. Nigel & Helen (niduncan)

    3. Andy (AndyW)

     

    if anyone else fancies it let me know.
