Market Place

If you’re looking to buy a used kit car; there’s a reasonable crop, for the time of year, in this issue (in our 16 page Market-Place section at the back). Certainly more than in any other similar publication – about 85 in this issue! Our Market-Place section, at the back of every issue of Kit Car, is brimming with life and is clearly THE place to buy or sell.
