Nimrod Kit Car

3 Apr 2009, 10:58pm
Hi. I am new to this but I have had a Nimrod kit car for a year now. It is unbuilt so I am after help so I can make a start. Does anyone have a build manual I can copy and how many are there in existence? Also how do I register it when finished without getting a q plate?

Hi Rob,
welcome to the forum and the world of kit car building.
I assume you've seen this thread............?

The key to avoiding a Q plate is to use all the major components (engine, gearbox, diff, drive shafts, etc etc) from a single donor car which you need to own in the first place.

Hi. Yes seen that thread. Its about the only bit of info I can find on the internet. A workmate said that in all the years he has been going to kitcar shows he has never seen one.

Apparently there were about 12 built so do I have the only 1 left?

I may be interested in selling the kit with a lot of parts to build it if I get a serious offer.

Ah so there is another one out there, all be it in America. Did you build it or did you buy it already done as I could do with a build manual.

Sorry Rob, it is not mine.

The link came up on a car forum that I belong to, I posted it to a friend who is in to kit cars. He had never heard of the Nimrod, did a search and found this thread, so posted the link for info.

Most Americans are very friendly so try contacting the seller and I am sure that he will try to help you if he can.
