Kit Car Guide - 2008 (24th Edition)

Our serialised listing of kit cars and products was completed in 2007. It was a mammoth but rewarding undertaking which produced this massive guide for 2008. There are, in total, about 220 kit and specialist sports cars listed.

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 25th edition Kit Car Guide is now available - hence this one being sold at a sale price.

The Guide shown right was put together nearly 5 years ago: consequently it's outdated. That said, it still contains plenty of historical 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!
