Factory Five & Hammink Performance Score UK Kit Car Cover!

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

A Factory Five Roadster and Challenge Car are featured in the February 2015 issue of the British “Kit Car” Magazine. The cars were built by Factory Five’s European builder/distributor Hammink Performance.

We’ve been working with Hammink Performance for over five years now and they have helped import over 30 Factory Fives all across Europe. That is a remarkable accomplishment considering the import challenges and the slow economy in Europe! Their work has been featured at the Essen Auto Show, and they have raced their Challenge Car at several race venues in Europe.

You can find the British “Kit Car” Magazine on select newsstands.

Congratulations to Jan and Freek Hammink for their great work! Click here to learn more about Hammink Performance.
