Quantum Owners Club (QOC) is a club for people who own or have an interest in Quantum Cars, which are a type of Kit car produced by Quantum Sports Cars. The club was formed in early 1990 by Peter Crawford,
who having build a white Series One Coupé, decided to form an Owners Club for people who were interested in Quantum Sports Cars. The first official gathering of the club was at the Newark Kit Car show in the same year, when a number of members got together for the first time.
The club has grown since then and now has a membership of around 400 people.
Membership Benefits
Insurance
Being a club member has a number of benefits. One key benefit is a club insurance scheme with a leading specialist insurer. All club members over the age of 25, who have been claim free for at least 5 years could insure their Quantum for ~£175, fully comprehensive, with unlimited mileage. The same deal raises to ~£350 for drivers aged 21-24 and for even younger drivers a limited mileage policy starts from ~£320 TPFT, with limited mileage up to ~£1,300 full comprehensive with unlimited mileage, which is all very competitive.
Discounts
A number of discounts have been negotiated with suppliers likely to be very useful when trying to keep you car on the road. Potentially you could save up to 30% on purchases!
Events
The club is able to run 3 main events for members, each free of charge. The big annual event is the club BBQ after the AGM at the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show, which is usually the Sunday evening before the May Day bank holiday.
The Haynes Action Day is a favourite with many members, where the club takes over the small circuit at the Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford. This is a fun day out and a chance to test your skill as a driver.
The final annual event is a test day at the Curborough Sprint Circuit, near Litchfield, where you get the opportunity to test your car alone on the circuit.
Holidays/Tours
Gaining inspiration from the original Irish Shamrock Tour, back in 2005, the club has been involved with a holiday or tour every year since. The initial tour built a close relationship with the Irish Kit Car Club, that has remained ever since. After visiting Ireland for 4 years we invaded Scotland in 2009, with a further foray into Scottish territory planned for 2010. |
