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 ?

A local cricket club holds a Sausage & Cider weekend held on 21/July 2018 which Rhocar has been invited to.
The day includes inflatables for children's entertainment , an all day bar and a band in the evening.
Real ales, ciders and sausages on the BBQ during the evening.
Tickets for the event cost £6 per person which will include a live band and food from the BBQ
I have spoken to the organizers and they have agreed to allow us to pitch tents and caravans on site for £10 on Saturday night, or £15 For the Friday + Saturday night / pitch including the use of the showers and toilets both nights. Sorry no hook up available.
The bar at the cricket club will be open on the Friday evening if we have enough interest.
We attended this event last year and it was great, so we will be camping both nights.
I would be happy to plan a run out Saturday morning if anyone is interested.
I am looking for names and numbers if anyone is interested.
