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 ?

18/06/2020 COVID-19 UPDATE:
NEWARK KIT CAR SHOW 2020

It is with regret that we have decided to cancel the Newark Kit Car Show in July this year. For those of you who have purchased tickets for this show, your ticket will be valid for the 2021 show (dates to be confirmed). To avoid possible ticket price increases next year, and to save us the cost of postage and reprinting tickets, we ask that you keep your ticket and use it for the 2021 show. By retaining your ticket for use in 2021 you will be helping us to continue hosting shows in 2021 following what has been a difficult time for many businesses due to Covid-19. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you back to the Newark Kit Car Show next year.

As our office is still closed, we are unable to contact ticket holders individually as we do not have access to the database. If you have any queries, our preferred method of contact is email (grosvenorshows@btconnect.com).

We are currently still planning to hold the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show in August (29 – 30 August 2020). We will continue to follow updates from the government regarding the Coronavirus and will update you on our website and Facebook page @Grosvenor where necessary.

Kind regards,

Roger Cooling
DIRECTOR

24/04/20 Stoneleigh Kit Car Show Postponement COVID-19 UPDATE

I sincerely hope that you and your families are keeping well and staying safe in these uncertain times.

The safety of our visitors and exhibitors is of paramount importance to us and, following the advice from the government regarding the Coronavirus, we have postponed the National Kit Car Motor Show. It will be rescheduled to Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August 2020. Any tickets you have purchased for this show will be valid to use at the show in August and you will not require a replacement ticket. Exhibitors have been emailed individually regarding their stand bookings. We have endeavoured to inform clubs where we have an email address for them, but we apologise if you have not received a direct correspondence from us.

We will continue to follow updates regarding the Coronavirus and will announce any changes to other future shows in due course. As you will understand, the situation changes daily and we are working to do what is best for exhibitors and visitors alike.

Our office is currently closed and due to the large number of enquiries we are receiving at this time, we apologise that we are unable to respond individually to every enquiry, but will endeavour to provide you with up-to-date information, but this may be a generic email. Please remember only to trust our official website and Facebook page for information about our shows.

Thank you for your understanding.

Stay safe!
