  • 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 ?

    Fuel pump/regulator connector part identification

    Pellis
    By Pellis,

    Hi All,

    Happy Xmas to you all.

    I'm after some help identifying the part in the picture if possible. I was replacing my fuel pump on my 2b (2l pinto EFI) due to the engine cutting out under acceleration yesterday and while fitting the new one I had the horrible moment where everything goes loose and you know instantly that something has snapped. Anyway, I'm not to sure what this part is called or where to get one from so was hoping someone would be able to give me some advice. It's the connector that screws into the pump (PIERBURG 7.21565.01) and the regulator and feeds the fuel back from the regulator to the outlet tube.

    In the pics I've put the assembly together so you can see it as it was before I was cack handed and snapped it.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Paul

    By Nick Standley,

    I’ve joined this club as I’ve just got myself a GBS Zero and the insurance company is asking for proof of club membership.

    I cannot seem to find a way of proving to them I am a member of this club.

    Has anyone been in the same way and how did you get it sorted please.

    By Domingo,

    Hola, como dice el título, soy español y tengo un Lotus Robin Hood con motor Rover sd1 v8 del 2004, lo recogi en muy mal estado y me era imposible poder conducirlo por mi estatura (1.90), lo he restaurado todo lo que podía y mejore muchas cosas incluidas poder entrar para conducir, pero de momento es imposible de poder matricular circular de manera legal con mi Robin por las carreteras españolas hasta que cumpla los 30 años de antigüedad y lo puedo entrar como vehículo clásico me encantaría encontrar ayuda con vosotros poder colocar una pantalla delantera.

    Intentare subir unas fotos de mi Robin. Un saludo a todos 😉

    By charlie,

    Hi all and thanks for letting me join. I'm picking up a Robin Hood in January, (I didn't have time to pick it up before I go to Spain). I am completely new to kit cars, though I have, with help restored a couple of MGB's and a Triumph Spitfire. They are easy as they have B series engines and simple mechanics. I think my car has a Burton 1.8 in it so I'll be tapping up the hive mind far all sorts if you don't mind....

    I'm looking forward to the spring when I can bring 'The Rocket' to shows and meets, in the meantime, please be patient and gentle with me and with all my stupid questions!

    So any advice and tips on what I should look out for before it gets delivered will be more than welcome......

    Thanks again.

    Best

    Charlie

     


    Hi, newbie here!

    Rednex
    By Rednex,

    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to introduce myself (well, mostly the car!). I’ve just bought this lovely 3A this week. Credit to the previous owners—it’s been built really well and seems to have most of the upgrades recommended on the forum from what I’ve read so far. This is the car -  Make & Model:Robin Hood, S3 Date of Reg:A145OVG Colour:Green cc:1997 MoT:2026-05-18 Fuel Type:Pet

    I’ll be joining the club as a member soon. I’m based in Norfolk.

    It’s probably the wrong time of year to get out and enjoy it, but I’m looking forward to spending plenty of hours in the garage learning more about it!

    First upgrades I’d like to tackle are sourcing a new reversing light lens (the current one has a piece missing) and a fog lamp lens—size is 110 x 56 x 30mm 

    I’d also love some advice on what seats would fit for a bit more support around the back and head, plus recommendations for a nice gear knob and steering wheel.

    Cheers for now,
    Jon

    The Replica & Self-Build Festival Stoneleigh 18th-19th July 2026

    NickPlumb
    By NickPlumb,

    Hi everyone,

    is anyone planning on going to this show next July?

    it would be great if we could get a good number of us displaying our cars there. The cost of a ticket for someone displaying in their group is £9 for the weekend. Camping also available on site  for anyone fancying it, plenty of B&B type accommodation also near by. What is there not to like?

    should we see if we can get a number of us there?

    let us know your thoughts.

    cheers,

    Nick
