My all time favorite kit car has to the the Coyote from Hardcastle & McCormick.

Simplemente hermos y tecnicamente perfectos...Son un sueno del que resulta muy dificil despertar...Muchas gracias.....

Thank you so much for posting this.

Well done on content. Some painstaking work done to those cars. Appreciate kit cars bit more now.

I built a JC Midge back in 1980, great fun!

Very comprehensive coverage. Thanks for even including my Emira!

Gorgeous!!!

I used to be into kit cars in the 80s but was always lacking at least two of the three key ingredients: time, space, money. I'd have loved to create a tastefully crafted Nova.

Great to see my car featured!

great video full of specs thanks for sharing top man.

VStorm was 🔥❤️ Can only dream about stuff like that that being road legal here in 🇨🇦. Nice walk-about ! 👍

That 356 Boxster is very cool. Yes dimension's aren't correct for 356 but the stretching and widening look spot on!

Nice editing, very good production.

That first car is what Stanley Kubrick should have used in 'A Clockwork Orange' as the Durango 95. The 1969 M-505 Adams Brothers Probe 16 was an absolute horror show, and I don't mean the good kind!

Kit Cars have come a long Way IN every Way.

I'm 6-4 built a cobra and extended the footwells. I also used block hugger headers and out the bottom exhaust. Worked fine. Most of these cars are for jockey-sized guys. With a little engineering we can get into these buggies.

I love what Gran Hall has done over the years. My favorite is the SLC Ford GT-R

👍

Some of them are for people with a death wish...no head rest , roll bars or 3point harness set belts... having said that I'd be tempted by that Ferrari Daytona convertible... very nice!!.❤️🇬🇧

Boxster/ 356 is nice

The red gt3rs boxster certainly looks the part from 10ft away.

Web sites for manufacturer?

Any e type jags ?

Hardcastle and McCormick

Can you tell me where to get the boxster to GT3RS kit?

Was hoping to see a Garner Douglas T-70 roadster..oh well.

I love these kit cars! It's a ferfillment of childhood fantasies.😂

Good vid thanks. You must really slow down your panning tho please

The front end of the car in the thumbnail pic looks like it was designed by the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Engineers.

I wonder if any creative individual or company has come up with the idea of having a open top car, but with a fiberglass (or carbon) roof cleverly fitted to the inside or outside of the bonnet. So come some rain you can release your roof and yet not loose any asthetic design or usability of the bonnet.?

I'd like to see a cyclecar kit car.

Observation: A special meet is a great idea. Kit cars don't belong at real car events. Real events spouses attend. Kit car guys seem to wear Hawaiian shirts and like French food.

Need more details on mechanicals of the vehicles. How much effort &hours to build or convert?

Don't know why people want a falsified version of a real car or those who buy fake badges. I get wanting a kit car that is original - like the Vaydor - just not one based on an existing model. For instance, if you arrive somewhere (and it's not a kit car show) what do you say when people ask about your 'GT3'? Either you lie, or tell the truth - "Umm, it's not real, I bought a kit because I am a poser who can't afford the real deal." It's fine if you can't afford a $300 thousand dollar car, most of us can't, but it's a façade - like putting a false front on a trailer house and calling it a mansion.

Steering wheels are on wrong side . Come on man.

Speed Racer

30 years ago at the show, the fake VW based 911 Covlin? looked almost identical to a 911 , the fake 356 Chisel speedster? also VW based looked identical , the Fake Lambo looked almost identical the V8 gave it away. The Fake Jaguar xj6 engine E type looked almost identical. These body kit cars are not so close. Cobras still look real but was already yawning at the number of Cobras in 93. I see the 356 that looks real is still there. Most of the good looking replicas were there 30 years ago and some that were there are missing. I think the kit car replica market must have stalled. I would not kennel my dog in many of the new body kit replicas,, that new bloated boxter based 356, someone must have been drunk at the time to buy that

I'd like to walk around those shows with a mullet wig, platforms and a cucumber down the front of tight strides! What's the point of having a Trabant dressed up to look like a Lagonda? The whole fake - snake thing does my head in, that one with "Cobra 427" decals all over it; NO, it's NOT ! The beech bugs have a nostalgic charm - I could do one of them with Subaru power, that'd be an honest kit car. The rest, with a few exceptions are just ridiculous.
