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 ?

Leicester Area Meeting 21st October Cancelled

By Kerry, October 13, 2020

Sorry, but due to the current Covid-19 situation unfortunately the area meeting must be cancelled.

It is unlikely we will be able to hold a meeting for some time, but I will continue to monitor the situation and post each month with an update.

Staffordshire October area meet CANCELLED

By Andi, September 27, 2020

There will be no October meet, which would have been this coming Thursday.

But alas the whole covid thing has put a stop to that. It has taken ages to get this thing finally moving and with decent numbers attending too.

Anyway, that`s that for now and watch this space for news of the next meeting.

Harborough at War Drive Out for Charity Treasure Hunt.

All vehicles welcome - Vintage, Modern, Military, Civilian, 2 wheels, 4 wheels etc.

We will set out a course, around the surrounding area, and you will follow a route & answer as many of the questions as possible to score points.

The winner will be the one with the most points, (plus a tie breaker if required).

Cost will be £10 per vehicle, and all profits (after costs) will go to charity.

Please put your name down on the list below, and how many vehicles if possible, to help us gauge how many will be attending etc.

New Member - Norfolk

By Norfolk chris, September 20, 2020

Hi All, I have just purchased my first Robin Hood 2b, I helped to restore my fathers s7 when i was younger (bought from Peter Filby himself) B897PJF if anyone knows that, would love to see again.

I would love to find anyone in the Norfolk area that could take a look at it with me and chuck some pointers out and a nod to any good garages to take them too for certain works, I can't pull on my father experience as I'm doing this to unveil to him once finished
