  • 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 ?

    Leicester Karting Event - Interest?

    Andy Spencer
    By Andy Spencer,

    All

    There's a possibility of organising a Karting event for the Leicester (and any other) members at Stretton 2000 (see HERE for details). It'll be around £30 a head and will last just over an hour - probably a weekday evening- Nick one of the local members can get us a good deal. We need a minimum of 10 to make it pay.

     

    Before we set dates / times, we need to ascertain levels of interest. If you are interested, can you PM Phil Shelton please?

     

    By the way - Phil has kindly agreed to help out with the Leicestershire events so we'll be working the area as a team from now on to offer a better local service. Good on you Phil.

     

    Thanks

     

    Andy

    By Guest Ian & Carole,

    Hi Boys & Girls

     

    A bit sparse at the moment, will try to put more together as date gets nearer.

    13th & 14 th Sept . 200 8 - The Genuine Kit Car Show

     

    Bingley Hall, Weston Road, Stafford ST18 0BD (3 miles from Junction 14 of the M6 motorway)

     

    It's BACK this year. Under new management. It's expected to quickly establish itself as a premier kit car industry event. This show should be well worth visiting. It's the only show run by Kit Car magazine - hence the name. Expect at least 25 kit car manufacturers, loads of clubs and a great selection of traders selling parts, tools and accessories. The venue is ideal for a kit car show with its massive indoor exhibition centre surrounded by green paddocks outside for clubs and individual owners.

     

    For stand bookings contact Tom, Tel: 0208 3952653

     

    We'll be placing FREE ticket offers on-line shortly, whereby purchasers of certain guides, subscriptions and other publications will be offered a FREE show ticket.
