Kit Car
A kit-car is an automobile that is available in kit form, i.e. you buy a set of
parts that you have to assemble yourself. Usually many major mechanical parts
such as the engine and transmission are taken from one or more donor vehicles.
Kits vary in completeness from as little as a book of plans to a complete set of
all the components required. The definition of a kit car is usually taken to
mean that a number of examples are produced by a manufacturer for sale to the
public. A car built at home as a one-off to the designs of its builder is termed
a Special.
