Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Kit Car Manual written by Iain Ayre and published by Haynes Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely update of the original book, published in 2003. Although the fundamentals behind the kit-car scene have changed little since the book was originally written, the hardware has evolved, mainly due to the increased availability of affordable motorcycle engines, and the reduced availability of several former favorite donor vehicles. This new edition includes more detail and advice on the use of a wide variety of motorcycle engines, and will include updated examples of new designs and developments that have become available over the last few years. The appendix detailing useful contacts has been revised and updated, as will a number of the photographs depicting example car builds.
Book Synopsis Collecting Muscle Car Model Kits by : Tim Boyd
Download or read book Collecting Muscle Car Model Kits written by Tim Boyd and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, model kit building was a huge hobby. Kids built plastic kits of planes, tanks, race cars, space ships, creatures from scary movies, you name it. Before baseball card collecting, Pokémon, and video games, model kit building was one of the most popular hobby activities. Car and airplane kits were the most popular, and among the car kits, muscle cars, as we know them today, were one of the most popular categories. Many owners of real muscle cars today were not old enough to buy them when the cars were new, of course. Yet kids of the 1960s and 1970s worshiped these cars to an extent completely foreign to kids today. If you couldn’t afford or were too young to buy a muscle car back then, what could you do? For many, the next best thing was to buy, collect, and build muscle car kits from a variety of kit companies. Hundreds were made. Many of these kits have become collectible today, especially in original, unassembled form. Although people still build kits today, there is a broad market for collectors of nostalgic model kits. People love the kits for the great box art, to rekindle fond memories of building them 40 years ago, or even as a companion to the full-scale cars they own today. Here, world-leading authority Tim Boyd takes you through the entire era of muscle car kits, covering the options, collectability, variety availability, and value of these wonderful kits today. Boyd also takes you through the differences between the original kits, the older reproduction kits, and the new reproduction kits that many people find at swap meets today. If you are looking to build a collection of muscle car kits, interested in getting the kits of your favorite manufacturer or even just of the cars you have owned, this book will be a valuable resource in your model kit search.

Book Synopsis The Complete Encyclopedia of Sports Cars by : Rob De La Rive Box
Download or read book The Complete Encyclopedia of Sports Cars written by Rob De La Rive Box and published by Rebo International Bv. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the 1950s and 1960s, cars such as the Jaguar XK 120, the ASA Cisitalia, Veritas, or Pegaso could be seen performing superbly on the racing circuits of Europe. The classic models of some 150 different makes are featured in this comprehensive reference work. This book takes you back to the racing circuits of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s when automobiles such as those of Gianni and Lamborghini ruled the road. The book also covers lesser-known makes such as the kit cars that Lotus sold for people to build themselves; there are sports cars for the road as well as for the race track. For instance, did you know that the Merak closely resembled the Bora but was powered by the same V-6 motor used in the SM Citroen? That is because the factory needed to use up its large stock of these engines. The book contains the fascinating stories of the manufacturers and designers of countless famous and lesser-known brands of both road-going and racing sports cars. With more than 750 color photographs, this is an essential reference work for automobile enthusiasts, especially classic sports car-lovers. Book jacket.
