In1964/5 i had a picture of a a Dino against my bedroom wall and i said this is the most beautiful car they have ever made. After all these years you said this must be the most beautiful car they have ever made. That's true words. Cheers, Capetown.
I love this. Checking out other people's builds and seeing the passion, time, building these unique rides is just awesome. Unfortunately there isnt a big enough community here that I know of
Anybody remember in the mid-70s that came out with that car based on a Volkswagen chassis? A lot of people bought them thinking they're going to make quick money - even though it would still be a Volkswagen with the Volkswagen engine. They don't wines up there almost impossible to assemble, and cost a lot more to get them assembled than they had ever imagined
Good variety and no banal chat well done , I have built and owned a few kit cars over the years and have to say the Kit Car Industry has been dying on its feet for a decade or more now and it's such a pity as it's a great hobby with lots of good people in the various clubs etc , I enjoyed many visits at stonleigh and Newark and knebworth over they years and met lot's of fantastic enthusiasts . It is such a pity that the younger generation don't get into this hobby and reinvigorate it and take it forward .
There's a simple and economic reason really. Modern houses are not built with garages or extra land due to the housing demand and cost of land purchase. There's just nowhere to build or keep your toys anymore... Well, not in the UK 😢
Have you ever heard or seen a "fifties" two seat open top sports car named.. BURG? It has fitted a Royal Enfield 650 pushrod twin.? I could send you photos if you want to see one.
I can only emagine the body damage that would result hitting a metal shopping cart in a super market parking lot. Love the right hand steering wheel design on these beauties.
If you are in an editing passion you could release a US version that does not have the Cobra Replicas, as that is most of the kit car scene in the US. I love seeing the unusual (for USrs), the GTM, the Italian, non-Fiero based cars, the Citroen adaptations, etc. though I didn't remember any GS based builds.
Great video but it could have been so much better if you had included the NG stand next to the Jaguars. You got right up to it and I could even see my NG TC in the background. Maybe this year?
Stratos looked great but my eye was caught by the Lotus Elan . Went online but couldn't find it . Can you tell me who makes them ? I've wanted an Elan for 40 years or more
The only people who made Lotus Elan were.....wait for it! Lotus. The Elan was available to purchase in kit for for home assembly back in the day directly from Lotus Cars.
What the heck is the silver car at 4:50? This is way cool. Too bad I don't live in the UK. I would have loved to have been there. I love the beautiful Lister Bell, Lancia Stratos kits the best. Thank you.
Is Stonleigh still charging the kit car owners to take their cars into the show? I found this rediculous because without them taking their cars there is no show to charge others to go in to look at the cars.
With a lot of those cars the quality is terrible. Also so many of them are big money sinkholes, you'll never get out of them what you put into them, not to mention the tens of thousands of hours. With the exception of the Cobra kit cars are pretty good
I really feel so sorry firstly for the clubs that organised to attend this cr@p fest but most of all the paying public for what was a few half empty fields and a main hall with a large percentage of the larger kit builders missing Total joke of an event The organisers should hang there head in shame
Point taken. It was less well attended than on previous years and as you say, only one hall in use. However, I think it was worth going to see. Hopefully there will be more stuff to see next year.
@@peakfreans68 yes hopefully it will get back to former glories i think unfairly to your footage is my bias towards the guys that run the event and more so to the ridiculous response they gave to my email to complain no offense to what youre doing here you are a fan that is trying to promote awareness of a hobby rather than trying to scam hard earned money from people and before you say scam is harsh take a moment to look at the advertising for this event then think as someone that was there ( the best place to view said ad would be last months Kitcar magazine) im just grateful i only had about 50 mins travel on top of the £30 entry
