  • 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 ?

    Dirty Duck 2 revisited

    Kerry
    By Kerry,

    After a successful Dirty Duck Camping weekend earlier this year we have decided to hold a second Dirty Duck Camping Weekend for 2025.  The event is open to anyone who wishes to join Sharon and myself for the weekend, we are expecting to see all the usual suspects and it would be lovely to see some new faces,

    The camp site is next to a Canal side pub. and Belvoir Castle is a 5 minute drive where you can get food and drinks along with visiting the Castle.

    The date for the event is Thursday 21st August 2025 to Monday 25th 2025 as it’s a bank holiday weekend. We have booked pitch 3 from Thursday to Monday.  I suggest booking early to get pitches in the same area to the left of the site, link to Booking and site plan

    We will be eating in the Pub on site Friday evening and it would be great if you could join us, we will be happy to book your table and place your order nearer the time.

    The club will be funding a BBQ on the Saturday evening for members, along with a Quiz.

    A run is planed on Saturday to The Great British car journey DE56 2HE

     

     

    Please keep us updated on which pitches you have booked.

    Hoping to see you this year , Sharon & Kerry

    Help me out here

    ClaudiaMM
    By ClaudiaMM,

    A bit random. My nephew (a new adult, bless him) is suddenly into Kit cars, which is fabulous news, and I want to help him get started. Unfortunately, he thinks I'm very uncool and doesn't trust my advice, so instead, I'm putting a little information pack together with resources he might actually listen to 😂 I'm including below, but I would love either some direct advice I could include or some resources you guys think are decent - thanks!
