Smyth Kit Cars is closing it's doors in 2027
I've been following these guys for over a decade with a project ute in mind. Just got an email explaining next year is going to be it. After they decided to no longer sell kits to private buyers, I was upset, but understood from a quality control position. And now they are closing up shop? That stinks man.
Summary of the email: Mark Smyth is shutting down Smyth to fully focus on helping build drone boats for the US Navy/DoD. They are slowing down production but will be fulfilling orders through 2027. Coop - "When people ask about Smyth years down the line, the thousands of us who built Utes alongside Mark Smith will simply say "You had to be there.'" Seems there is nobody interested in continuing the business but have other business ideas.
Helluva run but that may be it for Ute kits as we know it.
