A man’s YouTube video showed him attending an incredible supercar show, but none of the cars are real.
Well, the cars exist and are drivable, but they aren’t all they seem – some cars had been transformed to look like other car brands and some were made from car kits.
Stoneleigh Kit Car Show is made to celebrate the incredible replica cars that people build or create, attendees love to go and not have to overexplain their fake cars.
It truly highlights the craftsmanship and time and effort it takes to replicate such iconic classic cars.

A supercar show that isn’t all it seems
British YouTuber, Adam Canfield, better known online as AdamC3046 attended Stoneleigh Kit Car Show with his beloved kit car, a Dax Tojeiro made to replicate a Cobra supercar.
Within minutes of arriving, he had spotted a ‘Ferrari 250 with a short wheelbase’ which was in fact a repurposed BMW Z3.
The show was full of high-quality replicas, like an E46 BMW 3 series which had been repurposed to look like an Aston Martin V12 Vantage and fake Ferraris galore, with ‘F30s’ and ‘308s’ stealing the show.
The joy that the drivers displayed when showing off their replicas was heartwarming to see.
Even though they’re not the real thing, people put an incredible amount of time and money into making their cars look as close to the real thing as possible.
“It’s just expected here”
Canfield’s biggest buzz was that he didn’t have to explain that his car was fake, clearly speaking from experience of people commenting his car wasn’t quite right.
“I’m actually looking forward to not having to explain my car is a replica, it’s just expected here”.
The purpose of the show is to see the hard work and dedication put into replicas, which often get overlooked or mocked for not quite being the real thing.
“I’m not a millionaire,” says the content creator when discussing why he doesn’t have a real Cobra.
It’s a relief to see such high-quality replica cars, this is not always the case like this fake Lamborghini and faux Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Alongside the Kit Car Show, there was also a dog show happening at the same time, which added to the excitement.
It seems like Stoneleigh Kit Car Show is a great day out and you’d be barking mad not to enjoy it!
