What's the difference between a kit and a self-build? Most people buy the chassis at least in the flatpack form, some buy it ready made. Apparently, lots of people buy the wishbones pre-made. Virtually everyone buys the bodywork.
A friend of mine built a Tiger Cat. He bought a kit from Poland. The kit included a powdercoated chassis, front wishbones and I think uprights, and GRP panels. The rest he's sourced and built himself. The only essential difference is that there's a single company behind the Tiger design, whereas with Haynes there are several companies offering components. But even then I think the Tiger kit was made in Poland by a franchise:
