This book looks in depth at the marvellous UK kit car industry - its history, formation, best cars, best people, and its milestones. Tears, laughter and a passion for the underdog shine through in this book.From his unrivalled experience, the author tells the story of some of the great, some of the bad, and some of the most downright crooked characters to have graced this quintessential British industry since 1949, when Derek Buckler offered him a 'replica' kit form version of his little trials car, the Mk5. Steve didn't know it at the time, but Buckler would come to be regarded as the father of the kit industry, even before the term 'kit car' existed.Personal recollections of the main characters reveals some incredibly skilled indivduals - as well as some nutcases - all of whom tried to make a difference.There's lots of interesting facts and obscure information - and with facts, figures, listings, unrivalled photography, and trivia, this book contains just the sort of stuff that true automotive enthusiasts and fans of the underog love ...a real insight into how a kit car manufacturer operates.
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.
