This year is the 27th National Kit Car Festival at Newark. The festival is both an indoor and outdoor show. The main focus as always will be the superb stands in the main hall where the major kit car manufacturers display their many individual and exciting cars. New for 2009 the show will have an all new layout! Part of this includes the introduction of the 'Classic Kit Car Show' in the Lady Eastwood hall, featuring cars from past that are no longer in production. This will be a celebration of our kit car heritage.

Enjoy the evenings as well as the daytime by joining us in the Cedric Ford Pavillion for the licensed bar and evening entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.


AUTOJUMBLERS if you have not booked yet do not despair this year you can come along on the day and pay on arrival. The showground is huge we have plenty of room.

The weather forecast looks great, so why not camp! CAMPING is FREE. Yes I know for some it is hard to believe but it is true. Come along and enjoy two days at the show and free camping. Camping gives you more time during the day to make sure you do not miss anything and also allows you to enjoy the evening entertainment. For more details go to our camping page.

MAIN EXHIBITION HALL is packed full of beautiful cars and excellent trade stands. There are track cars, two seaters, grand tourers, off roaders or classic replicas, something for everyone.

AK Sportscars will feature the AK 427, one of the finest Cobra replicas in the country. It is available in kit form built on a ladder type chassis with partial backbone and full steel lowered floors. It is also available fully built. Beauford Cars supply their classic family tourer in a range of kit options based on an immensely strong steel box section chassis. Blitz World design, manufacture road legal buggies and 4x4 vehicles for self assembly, or factory built. They offer a good range including The Blitz 2 which is based on the ’A’ Series engine Mini.

Gentry Motor Car Co. will be exhibiting the Gentry TF a classic car at an affordable price. This is available in kit form currently building around Triumph running gear as it gives the car the right feel and look and the necessary parts are readily available Great British Sports Cars have a great range of two seater sportscars inspired by the Lotus Seven, at excellent value for money. Hawk Cars will have a stunning display including the Hawk 289 which uses components from the MGB. Rover V8 or small block Ford V8 engines power the Hawk 289, providing strength, power and ease of maintenance. MNR Ltd. offer Lotus inspired two seater with great handling for the road or track. The Vortx Mazda is based on the popular Mazda MX-5. Quantum Sports Cars with the Quantum Xtreme also offer a high quality Lotus inspired two seater.

This years we have a definite Italian feel in the main exhibition hall, enhanced by two Manufacturers new to Newark with their Ferrari and Lamborghini Replicas. DNA Automotive with their Toyota MR2 Super Car Kits and Extreme Sportscars with their stunning authentic replica sport cars. Look out for the replica Mercedes CLK DTM AMG based on the 2003 German Touring Car championship-winning CLK, like the one owned by Wayne Rooney. See if you can spot the difference between a genuine Lamborghini Murcielago and a Replica. We will have the real thing and the replica nose to nose at the show we are guessing you will not be able to tell which is the genuine one. The replica is based on Toyota MR2 Mk2. Making it’s show and public debut is the Extreme 430 and also don’t miss their exo-car based inspired by the Ariel Atom. Another car making its public debut is the Sylva Spectre from Sylva Autokits. Other Kit Car Manufacturers displaying their models will be Regent Motor Co., Tempest Cars, Tifosi and more.

The event will be supported by all of the industries’ magazines: Complete Kit Magazine, Kit Car Magazine and TKC Magazine.
