Newark Classic kit car hall
I've just had some information through the post regarding the Newark kit car show.
Perhaps you were already aware of this, but here goes.....
Classic Kit Car Hall
New for 2009 a Celebration of the Industry's History!
Through the years while organising the show, we have seen many Kit Car Companies that are now no longer in existence and Car models that are no longer
being produced. The Kit Car Industry has been around a long time, since the middle of the last century, we feel it is time to celebrate the fore
runners of themodern Kit Car.We are planning to present a display of Kit Cars from the ‘classic’ era the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and the 90’s in a
separate Hall, in effect giving you a show within a show.
We will be using The Lady Eastwood Hall for the Classic Kit Car Show, which will give plenty of space for impressive displays. Along side these
displays there will be space for indoor trade stands.
We are looking for a range of kitcars that are no longer in production. We will be searching out the well known cars that were produced in vast
numbers as well as the small production cars. These kitcars are part of a rich Heritage which we wish to acknowledge in our Classic Kit Car Show.
If you have a classic kit car that you wish us to consider for display in the Classic Kit Car Hall, you can download the form from here or contact us
by Email or Telephone."
It seems to me that this hall should have an early Locost in the nineties section!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

The 'Locost' wasn't originaly a 'kit' car though was it - and people (ie companies who you desperately wanted to sell
you stuff) were very snotty about the whole concept for a good while as I recall! - sounds weird now doesn't it that companies would turn down
business but they did!!
It is undoubtedly the most important car ever in 'kit car' terms but it's just a rip off of a pre lit Westfield at the end of the
day - so one yeah but the 1950s & 60s had some lovely looking specials you could build, the 70s and 80s some completely off the wall stuff and
I'd rather see a hall full of them tbh ......
