Kit Car Guide

Our serialised listing of kit cars and products is now totally complete. It’s been a mammoth but rewarding undertaking. There are, in total, about 220 kit and specialist sports cars listed. We started by listing them alphabetically in Kit Car as a part-work; started in July 06 and completed in April 07. We’ve now put all the entries together to form this massive, 428 page, Kit Car Guide for 2007/8.

It’s the reference for everybody whose into kit cars; containing all the vital information on each model. Not only that, but it includes advertising from nearly every industry supplier. It therefore contains not just kit details but also those of nearly every service, part and accessory supplier in the business!

We’ve departed from conventions of previous years. For example, it used to be the norm for a kit to be based on a single donor car, but these days the majority of kits require mechanical parts from diverse sources. It’s therefore simply not possible to specify the ‘donor’ car.

Costs of building have become ever more complex to express too; on account of manufacturer’s offering choice of components and levels of mechanical work already completed. These choices lead to massive variations in cost.

So, our new guide contains more verbiage about each vehicle under headings like Background, Impressions, Engineering and What Does it Cost?

In some cases we’ve included full product feature reprints to fully explain what’s what.

The guide’s primary purpose is to whet appetites and direct customers towards manufacturers. To that end we’ve included all the usual contact details.

Take a look at the Kit Car Guide entries in the July 2006 to April 2007 editions of Kit Car. The complete new Kit Car Guide is now available.

The Guide shown right was put together nearly 5 years ago: consequently it's a little outdated. That said, it still contains plenty of data and is available at half its original price. If you'd like a copy, please send £5. There are only a few left, so please hurry if you want one!
