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

Sell as is, or break for parts?
After 10+ years & still not getting my hood finished (various other projects, hobbies, house renovation etc) & now another house & barn to renovate I've come to the decision that I need to let go of the idea of ever finishing it.
Do I cut my losses & risk selling on eBay (with a reserve so I don't totally lose out) or do I break it.
It's an 85% complete series 3A so not most ideal to get through an IVA (all the common issues where strengthening/bracing etc that are required has been done).
Engine alone is probably worth more than I would get on eBay for the entire car (2.1 pinto, big valve ported head, race cam, lightened & balanced, new twin 45 DCOE's (well new when I fitted them several years ago in the build process), oil cooler, high torque starter motor
Good low mileage type 9 5speed gearbox.
Cobra seats with brand new unused 4 point harnesses
New brakes all round (including focus rear disc conversion)
Focus wheels (4 fitted with new Toyo Proxes & 4 spares)
Correctly marked laminated windscreen
All new track arms, rod ends, bushes & tie rod conversion.
