Minardi had a successful time in Formula Two until the tiny Italian outfit was ready to hit the big time in 1985. It somehow survived in F1’s shark-infested waters as bigger teams (Lotus, Arrows, Tyrrell) were dragged under.
They have a truly international fan-base and are the ‘second team’ of most F1 devotees. Minardi is held in such affection as everyone loves the plucky underdog – Minardi’s annual budget would have lasted one month at the other Italian team up the road. Yet, from its plant in Faenza near Bologna, Minardi has produced cars that qualify, sometimes score points and often lead the way in their technology. Gian Carlo Minardi also developed a reputation as a fabulous talent-spotter – Fisichella, Trulli, Webber and the youngest ever World Champion Alonso all started their F1 careers with Minardi. For the last five years, Minardi was owned by controversial Australian tycoon Paul Stoddart. Cast as David against the Goliath of F1’s governing body, Stoddart constantly hit the headlines as he tried to get a more equal share of the sport’s billions. Ultimately, he failed and Red Bull has now bought the team.
Despite a petition of 15,000 names, the Minardi name has vanished from the F1 grid and true motorheads miss it. This is the one and only inside account, with exclusive, comprehensive interviews with bosses, drivers and engineers.

This book is the first to take a systematic approach to a neglected area of toy collecting, providing valuable background information on the companies that made these toys and enabling collectors to identify many previously unknown items.
Among the many famous toy companies examined are Tri-ang and Brimtoy (Great Britain); Norev and Minialuxe (France); Gama and Siku (Germany); Ingap and Politoys (Italy); Rico and Paya (Spain). In addition, light is shed for the first time on the history of many smaller and more obscure brands of plastic toy cars. More than 250 photographs of rare and unusual plastic toy cars are included, together with an indication of the prices these items are currently fetching on the antique toy market.
Why would anyone in their right mind buy a car in pieces, then spend months (maybe years) painstakingly putting those pieces together, and paying for the privilege? Because if you like tinkering with all things mechanical, there's nothing more rewarding than building and driving your own car. Some of the kits can be expensive, but there are plenty of cheap kit cars available out there. To save you the trouble of finding them, here is a list of five cheap kit cars. The list is based purely on estimated final build cost. Another one from Sylva Autokits Ltd, this is not only a cheap kit car, it's a powerful one too.
There are two variants, one powered by the Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine called the R1ot (see what they did there?) and the other powered by the Ford Zetec SE engine. The advantage of using the bike engine is that it’s light and powerful, so it obviously gives a better power-to-weight ratio, but of course there's no reverse gear! The Ford Zetec engine allows for a smoother driving and acceleration experience (plus a reverse gear) but is less powerful. Donor components for this kit can be taken from the Ford Fiesta Mk4, which includes the Zetec engine if that’s the option you go for. This has got to be one of the best-value kit cars out there in terms of the performance you get. Are well known in the kit car world for manufacturing great cheap kit cars.
The Sprint is their most popular range. The only difference between the Mk 4 and the Mk 3 is some revised bodywork. The Mk4 XL (pictured) also has a larger boot space. The donor vehicle for components is the Ford Sierra. Several engines can be used, apart from the one on the Sierra, including the Vauxhall XE and Cologne V6. This is a kit car that that looks good and offers great value for money. Update: The owner of the car in two of the pictures above has been in touch.
This car was completed in 2007, has a Vauxhall 2 Litre XE 'Red Top' Engine and is fitted with custom dials made by in matching yellow and black, plus Cobra seats (thanks for the info). (formerly Robin Hood Engineering) is another manufacturer with a reputation for producing reliable, cheap kit cars. The Robin Hood Project 2B kit car is the most popular from this manufacturer.
The chassis is made from tubular steel, or 'tubey' (2B) for short, and is for people who want to build a roadster on a budget. As the cost suggests, this is certainly a no-frills kit. The donor car is a Ford Sierra (1600cc, 1800cc, 2000cc Pinto) and you should be able to get everything you need from the one car. The Robin Hood company motto is “One kit + one donor vehicle = car on the road.' V6 and V8 engines can also be used, as well as motorcycle engines with some modification to the chassis.
In terms of price, this has to be number two on the list. This is the most interesting kit car in the list. Mainly because it isn’t a kit, only a book. For those who don’t know, Locost (low cost) is a generic name that refers to any self-built clone of the Lotus 7 two-seater sports car, based on the book by Ron Champion called Build Your Own Sports Car for as Little as £250. Building a Lotus 7 style car now costs slightly more, but Champion’s book is still used as a plan.

Not only do you build the car itself, but you also assemble the kit itself to your own specification. As such, build cost and performance vary, but if you are looking for a cheap kit car, it doesn’t get any cheaper than this. I own the yellow Vindicator Sprint pictured above and can recommend that you take a look at those as well before buying a Kit Car. They are slightly wider than a Seven giving more cockpit room and are designed with near 50 50 perfect weight distribution for racing. The engine is behind the front wheels not over it and the fuel tank is in front of the rear wheels with the passengers right in the middle giving a much smoother ride than a Seven and less tendency to kick the back end out when cornering really hard!
