Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club

The Committee would like to congratulate Heritage Insurance on their 60th Anniversary in 2025

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 ?

Glossop Car Show 20Th May

By Matt brown, March 16, 2017

So I keep hearing about the lack of shows and hearing about the dwindling numbers on the forum, I think this would be a good idea for the forum to get a pitch and get the name out and get more members. We NEED a show of force to get more people interested in the group.

Hants & Dorset Monthly Meet April

By fry61, March 7, 2017

Hi all, this months meet was a poor turn-out due in the main to the heavy showers I suppose.

NEXT month it is proposed that we meet on the week-end of 8/9th April at a pub in the area of Basingstoke.

Please pen your thoughts, which day -- is this area suitable/convenient for you -- what would you like arranged -- visit somewhere/meet & drive before/after lunch.

One suggestion so far ( & the only one ) is to centre the meet on POPHAM AIRFIELD , as always it's you that make the club, so please offer your views.
