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 ?

Lincolnshire Meet For May

By alanrichey, May 3, 2018

Obviously Stoneleigh will be the main meeting for May, but that leaves us 3 weeks before the end of the month, hopefully with good weather.

It's time we had a meeting in the South, so I propose Saturday 19th May, and that we go to the Nene Valley Railway station at Wansford ( It obviously has plenty to look around (I actually learnt to drive a steam train there a couple of years ago) has a picnic area and a cafe.

Obviously weather dependent, so this is just something to pencil in. I'll go into greater detail nearer the date,

So far I have interest from:

1. Me

2. Nigel & Helen (niduncan)

3. Andy (AndyW)

if anyone else fancies it let me know.

Stoneleigh

By Guest scoobydo71, May 1, 2018

Hi people,

Planning to drive my stainless to the show on Sunday just to hello really but, I could possibly be available on Sat to help set up? Only driven my car 6 miles so far (with several fuel supply breakdowns). Fancy pants new Facet pump fitted and I'm quietly confident.

Going to try and find time the in evenings and Fri to prove reliability.

Anyway, I'm really local (just near Kenilworth) so, if you feel that you need a hand just post a reply.

Greg.

Blyton Park (Track Day) 8/7/18

By Matt brown, May 1, 2018

While we work on getting a track day organised by the club i thought we could get at least one pre-booked track day in.

I think i have found a good option for everyone.

TRACK: Blyton park (Eastern circuit)

DATE: 8/7/18 (SUNDAY)

PRICE: £139

For people that have been to Blyton before, this is not the standard track layout and looks to be more suited to 7 type cars with more turns.

The trackday can be booked through 'Javelin trackdays' through this link

http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackdays/July/Blyton-Park-8th-July-2018

The format for the day is as follows

Layout : Eastern Circuit (1.4 miles) Format : Open Pit Lane Noise : 95dba Drive By Overtaking : Right Hand Side on Straights Only

If you are interested in this event please let me know as if there is enough of us i may be able to get us a discount for the club, or you can just book yourself on with the link above and post on here so we know who is going.

Hope this is a good start for people towards new events for the club!!
