old Kit car magazine question

[Jukebag]

A few weeks ago I was rummaging through a pile of old kit car magazines, and one of the last pages it listed back issues of their magazines with a few details of the cars/builds featured in them. One, dated from I think August 2005, mentions the build of a Jaguar E-Type, which I thought was odd given that's it's a kit car magazine not a classic magazine as such. I thought it was referring to a kit car like the Wildcat or replica like the Challenger, but it just says Jaguar E-Type.

I don't think the magazine is the one that you currently available like Total Kit Car or Complete Kit Car as on the front cover it just says "Kit Cars" or kit car, so could be a magazine that's no longer sold anymore. Can't seem to find any old copies of this particular magazine on ebay.

Late reply.

Yes that's the magazine in question, but I could've been wrong on the date, it may've been May 2005, though the one I found on ebay dosen't mention an E-Type on the front cover either. I don't recall seeing this particular kit magazine for sale, which must mean its no longer made or they've changed the name.

I've heard too that the 80s and 90s were the boom period of kit cars, why they aren't now I don't know. There are plenty Lotus and Cobra kits/reps about for all different tastes, and it's not as if most people could afford a real Cobra or even a Caterham of Lotus 7 at the prices they go for. A well built Tiger Cat, Dax Rush, Robin Hood, built on a budget of a few grand, can be just as good as a Caterham at 20-30 grand.
