  • Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club

    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 ?

    Hi All,

    I don't know whether you or any of your members may be interested, but the magazine is running a track day at Llandow on the 30th August. It's a good little track and we'll be giving everyone free lunch and making it a bit of a special day. Places are limited to just 35 cars, so you're guaranteed loads of track time.

    Price is normally £95 and we've been offering a £20 discount to CKC subs club members. If any of your members would like to join us, then I'd be happy to extend the discount to your club!

    Booking would normally be done via Alan Baker at Omex on 01242 681044, but I'm happy for you to come directly to me if you'd rather.

    It would be great if one or two of your guys fancied it.

    All the best

    Ian

    Pageant Of Power

    Mitch
    By Mitch,

    The Northern Goodwood festival of speed?

     

     

    Hi All,

     

    Whilst out and about last week, i came across a leaflet for a show in Cheshire at Cholmondeley Castle,

     

    It looks like the Northern version of the Goodwood Festival of speed, (with Prices to match).

     

    Looking at the cars on the brochure i thought we would have no chance of getting in, as there all racing cars and supercars both vintage and modern.

     

    also power boat racing and Helicopter displays

     

    But we have been offered a pitch for the club,

     

    Right the only problem is its only 2 weeks away and we need to confirm numbers asap. as space is limited these will goto full paid up Members first.

     

    if we dont fill the space then i will offer to others

     

     

    Okay heres details

     

    http://www.pageantofpower.com/

     

    Price for us with cars is, free for driver, BUT passengers will have to pay, this will cost £20 for A day or £30 for both, camping is £10 PER NIGHT or 15 for caravan. See Goodwood Prices!!!

     

     

    As i say i need numbers quickly, and i would presume payment to for camping/ passengers.

     

    if your COMING put name below and PM me your full details, name,address,with or without passenger, 1 day (sat or Sun) or both, and if camping

     

     

    Thanks Mitch
