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 ?

Midlands Autofest 19th to 21st April 2019
Another new event that Zach has made me aware of and at a familiar venue - Stoneleigh.
http://www.midlandsautofest.co.uk/
Midlands Autofest offers an amazing day out for all the Family with children going FREE.
Held over two days the show gives you chance to not only take in some mind-blowing cars, but also really get into the spirit of the lifestyle and culture that surrounds them; the music, the fashion and the food. With live action both on and off stage Saturday and Sunday.
Where else will you find Drifting Demonstrations or your chance to have a ride in one of these top competition Drift Cars sliding their way around the Live Action Arena alongside two full on Live stages, the Live Bands Stage and the DJ & competition stage. Plus, Superbike Stunt Show Arena, BMX Indoor Arena, Trade Stands and much more. You won’t, is the simple answer…,
All this offered alongside American Lowrider Cars and the world famous, Wall of Death performing their gravity deifying tricks.
With so much of the show under cover over 4 indoor halls & loads of things for the kids to do to.............Bouncy Castles, Face painting and Mini Movie Truck Rides and over 100 trade stalls to look around too this is one event you can’t afford to miss.....!
This is 2 weeks before the Kit Car Show and £20 on the day to get in (no wonder that can afford to let kids in free) so I don't know if there will be many takers but I'll post it up and see what response there is.

RHOCaR Treasure Hunt 2019
Roll up, roll up for the new and exciting adventure that is the RhoCar treasure hunt!
What’s it all about?
You will get sent a list of 90+ landmarks dotted round the country (between 1 and 3 per. county). Starting in March and running until the end of October, you need to find as many of the landmarks as you can and take a picture of it and your kit (or tin top if you’re a non-kit owner) in view.
Landmarks are worth a differing amount of points depending on how difficult they are to find or get to. In November, you send all the pictures (preferably in a link to Dropbox/Google photos etc) to us, we tot up the scores and a winner is announced.
An example landmark:
County / Region Landmark Location Points
44 Worcestershire Earl Beauchamp's Fountain Cowleigh 20
Why?
To get you out in your kits. The landmarks are designed to be in scenic parts of the country (not motorway services etc) which are worth a drive anyway. Go on a long weekend, plan a route via. a few landmarks on the list and you’ll have a great time.
What’s it cost?
Free to members, £10 to non-members (entry is per car).
Where do I sign up?
Follow this link to purchase your entry through our club store -
Rules?
1. Please do not give the list to other people – the club relies on these sort of events to keep running and it’s not an excessive amount of money for non-members to pay.
2. This is a non-competitve, fun event on public roads, so all normal laws of speeding, insurance, roadworthiness etc, etc apply – the club is not be responsible for any accidents/incidents/divorces caused by your involvement (legal waffle out the way).
3. Use of sat-navs is fine.
4. Event starts on March 1st and ends on October 31st. Lists will be emailed to entrants in late February.
5. …er, I think that’s it!
Acknowledgement: I have shamelessly stolen this idea from Dave Hancock who runs the Round Britain Rally for bikers. I have done his event a couple of times on my bike and it’s really good fun, hence why I want to do it in my kit as well. I’d like to thank Dave for letting us use last year’s landmark list (which he has spent many, many hours compiling) and I urge you to visit his website and consider joining in the full event (if you’re a biker).
Any questions, please ask away – hopefully, we can have a great driving season getting lost looking for little bits of stone!
