Join in the fun by registering to post on the forum, and to get full benefits you can buy 12 months club membership for just £20!  Membership includes a quarterly club magazine, discounts with insurance companies and specialist suppliers,  exclusive, early or discounted access to a number of events each year and much more!

  • 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 ?

    The photoshoot will be conducted by a Motorsport photographer who is currently working alongside Bentley Motorsport and M-sport to provide photographs of their GT3 race days and is also the coalville town football clubs main photographer.

     

    The shoot will take place in Leicestershire. Specific location not yet decided but will be in the Leicestershire area.

     

    Time for the shoot are from 10am until 12am

     

    I have managed to get a discount for club members. prices are an absolute bargain at just £5 per vehicle.

    Leicestershire Area Meeting Wednesday May 17Th

    Andi
    By Andi,

    The next meeting will be at The Greenhouse Cafe
    The Langton Farm Shop, Melton Road,
    East Langton, Leicestershire, LE167TG
    01858545819
    https://www.google.c...0.9410691?hl=en

    This is where a Classic Car Show is hosted. The only downside is it finishes at 9pm, however it does start at 4pm though.

    This month some have requested that we finish at 8pm and go and do an hours run about in the countryside which sounds good to me. Logically I think that would be the excellent road to Melton, but that`ll be up to you guys.

    Hi folks, Mo & I invite you all to our annual BBQ on the week-end of 28/29/30th July Format will be similar to last year, arrive when-ever you can on Friday or Saturday, & set up camp/book in at B&B.

    We shall provide a BBQ on our patch Friday for those able to make an early visit, Saturday after breakfast we shall tour the local country-side; taking different passengers who wish/haven't their own kit/classic with them. We provide lunch around noon.

    We shall try again to tax your grey cells with a build project in the afternoon before skittles & buffet at a local pub, Sunday will be a BBQ breakfast cooked by Al Milton, & then it will be pack up & leave when-ever you wish.

     

    We expect tickets to be £12:50 per person for the skittle & buffet meal at local pub. Sorry to be blunt but we need advance payment in order to arrange the pub alley,food & fun. As last year there is no charge for children.

     

    There is no need to bring any food ( except for Saturday brekkie ) but if you wish to add something a little special it will be most welcome, alcohol will be self-supply & hopefully share. Tea & coffee will be on tap through-out the week-end, help yourself from the garden room.

     

    We have plenty of space for tents/caravans/motor homes & expect to have a porta-loo on site but no shower, so please make your own washing arrangements.

    Lincolnshire Meet For May

    alanrichey
    By alanrichey,

    Probably none :) (Unless you count last Monday at Stoneleigh). I am taking the opportunity to take a couple of holidays and won't be back till the 25th. However, don't let my absence put you off.

     

    1. 'Gearheads at the Ground' at the Newark Showground is on this Sunday 7th. 1300-1700 (or whenever you have had enough) Nicko and I go to this fairly regularly and it's always a good turnout, 300+ cars.. And the weather is looking good so great for a picnic.

     

    2. After I get back if the weather looks good I will look at something for the weekend of 27/28. Although that is the weekend of the Monaco Grand Prix and Jensen Button's return !!

     

    3. If you want to do something yourselves I am happy to help.
