Kit Car magazine has been around a long time. 2006 was the year in which it's ethical and moral argument with Which Kit? finally came to an end.

Kit Car had been consistantly increasing its sales percentage for the previous few years, outselling the competition by staggering proportions to the point where Which Kit? simply wasn't viable.

A major difference between Kit Car and all of its competitors (past and present) is that Kit Car is written by journalists who’ve actually built kit cars for themselves. As we’ve already said: we sell far more magazines, we’ve done so for decades longer and we have oodles more experience than any other title. Take a look at our back issues listing: we’ve covered more subjects than our competitors could even dream about and we add more pertinent topics to the list with each passing month.

The 12 issues of 2006 are shown below. Some of the cover pictures are links to more information about that particular issue.

We don’t pretend to be ‘Total’ or ‘Complete’

However, we do know our subject more totally and more completely than any other magazine. When one scrapes away the hype, gloss and ‘bling’: it’s actually easy to see that Kit Car magazine really is more total and more complete than its rivals.

It doesn’t finish with the magazine itself either. Our Kit Car Guide is more ‘total’ and more ‘complete’ than those produced by others. We’re also the only magazine offering a proper guide to SVA; called Kit Cars and the Law. The fact is that we know kit cars inside-out, whereas similarly named magazines report only superficially from the outside-in.

We regard the accuracy, integr ity and usefulness of our articles as more important than the manner of their presentation. We don’t therefore spend a fortune on glossy paper and glitzy layouts. Instead we place more emphasis on paying professional journalists for decent articles about today’s products and issues. We concentrate our editorial mainly on the nuts’n’bolts of kit cars, on what’s available, how it works and ‘how you can do it’ articles. We also answer reader’s questions and provide a round-up of news on a monthly basis.

As already stated, we’re the only magazine with staff experienced enough to properly cover the kit car industry’s core topics. Of course we also cover historic kit cars and the club scene because these subjects bring balance and perspective to our main factual and technical core topics. However, please don’t allow others to kid you that their emphasis on historic and owners cars makes them more complete. We see it as a smoke-screen: designed to mask the areas in which they’re very incomplete.
