Kit car companies claim to have engineers on staff. Doesn that mean the vehicles are safe?
A. No. Transport Canada knows that the kit car industry in North America often does not comply with the law or best engineering practices. Q. 11. The system requires a car kit (starter kit) hobbyist to get parts to complete the car in Canada. Is it legal to buy parts in Canada that have been imported, such as parts from a dealer’s parts counter? A. A hobby builder may NOT import, or have a third party import the parts needed to complete the car. These parts must be bought from a source in Canada not linked to the kit manufacturer.
