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.
