Synopsis
Over the past 50 years, since Derek Buckler, founder of Buckler cars, inadvertently started the UK kit-car industry by supplying eager customers with ‘replicas’ of his clubman racer, the kit-car scene has evolved from one full of ‘funny little plastic cars’ to today’s position where it embraces credible businesses making superb cars, such as Caterham, Westfield and Ultima. This comprehensive, authoritative and often humorous look at the UK’s kit-car scene documents over 1,500 different vehicles, including the successes and the failures, the perennial survivors and the short-lived, the good, the bad and the ugly.

About the Author
Steve Hole lives in Warlingham, Surrey, with his partner Carol, and is a member of the Guild of Motoring Writers. Now one of the UK's leading kit and specialist car journalists, as a youngster Steve lived near the Trojan factory, and would walk past twice a day, to and from school: line-ups of bubblecars and Elvas really fired-up his imagination from an early age. Steve started his kit car writing career with Kit Cars & Specials magazine, in 1984, and has worked either directly for, or contributed on a freelance basis to other, related titles. He co-founded Sportscar magazine in 2001, going on to found weekly webzine www.totalkitcar.com and TKC Magazine, which he still edits and publishes. This is his third book on the subject of kit cars. Steve was nominated for a Special Interest Magazine award in 2014.
