Invitation to feature the Zero at Advanced Engineering 2026 Show....

We’re delighted to announce that the GBS Zero will be on display at Advanced Engineering 2026 next month, where visitors will have the opportunity to see the car alongside a showcase of some of the UK’s leading engineering and manufacturing companies.

We were pleased to be invited to feature the Zero at the event, with the organisers recognising GBS as a strong fit for their focus on specialist UK automotive engineering.

The Zero’s lightweight, performance-focused design provides a great example of how specialist engineering and manufacturing can be brought together to create a highly capable sports car. Our approach to design, fabrication and in-house manufacturing also reflects many of the key engineering topics being discussed across the industry, including lightweighting, vehicle design, advanced manufacturing and specialist production.

Advanced Engineering brings together engineers, designers, manufacturers and technology specialists from across the UK and beyond, providing an opportunity to discover the latest developments across a wide range of engineering sectors.

For GBS, it’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Zero and demonstrate the engineering and manufacturing capabilities behind the car. Around 80% of the Zero is designed and manufactured here at our GBS facility, where our team works across design, fabrication, composites, CNC machining, electrical systems and vehicle development.

We’re delighted to be part of Advanced Engineering 2026 and look forward to showcasing the GBS Zero alongside a fantastic collection of British engineering innovation. More details about our stand and where to find us will be announced soon, so keep an eye on our event page and social media channels for updates.

What a Day - Fun with the Zeros out on track at Blyton Park....

What a fantastic way to round off our last GBS Track Day of the year…..
Last Saturday (3rd October) we headed back to Blyton Park, one of our favourite circuits, for our final track day of the year with Javelin Track days. The day delivered everything you could want from a track event — sunshine, speed, great company and plenty of action out on circuit.

Its always fantastic to see so many GBS Zeros together in one place, all being driven as they were designed to be — out on track and being enjoyed!

We were particularly pleased to see several Zero owners enjoying their first track day in their newly registered cars. From seasoned track drivers to those experiencing their first time behind the wheel, there was a great atmosphere throughout the day, with plenty of enthusiasm, advice and encouragement being shared in the pits.

Our GBS Zero Race Car was kept busy throughout the day, giving passenger laps and showcasing exactly what the Zero is capable of on track.

It’s always a highlight seeing the reactions from passengers stepping out of the car after a few laps. The combination of lightweight construction, performance and driver-focused engineering really comes alive on track, and the passenger laps are a great way for people to experience the Zero from the passenger seat.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We’d also like to say a big thank you to the team at Javelin Track days for helping us deliver another fantastic event.

We’ll be announcing our 2027 GBS Track Days in the new year, so keep an eye on our website and social media channels for dates and booking information. We’re looking forward to seeing even more Zeros out on track next year.

What’s Next? Head over to our GBS Events page to see what’s coming up, including our GBS Christmas Cars & Coffee event at the factory on Saturday 5th December.

GBS Christmas Cars & Coffee 2026 announced......

We know it might feel a little early to be talking about Christmas, but we’ve just confirmed the date for our next GBS Cars & Coffee event which will be the Christmas one! Join us at the GBS factory on Saturday 5th December 2026 for our final event of the year.

Our Christmas Cars & Coffee is always a great way to round off another busy year at GBS. It’s an opportunity to bring the cars along, enjoy a coffee and a catch-up with fellow enthusiasts, and spend some time with the GBS team before the Christmas break.

This event is also our opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported GBS throughout the year. Whether you’ve built or bought a GBS Zero, visited us at an event, joined one of our Drive Outs or Track Days, purchased parts from Kit Spares, followed our social media, watched our videos or simply stopped by for a chat, we really appreciate your continued support.

It’s been another busy year for the GBS team, and we’re looking forward to finishing 2026 with one more great get-together. Bring your car, bring your friends and family, and come and join us for some festive GBS fun!
We look forward to seeing you all on 5th December – and, of course, enjoying plenty of mince pies!

Plenty of Miles, Smiles and a Little Rain on the GBS Drive Out!....

Last Saturday, 19th September, we enjoyed a fantastic GBS Drive Out, with 12 cars joining us for a fun-filled day on the road.

We welcomed a great mix of GBS Zeros and other sports cars to the factory, where everyone enjoyed a chat and catch-up before setting off on our 50–60 mile scenic route through beautiful villages and winding country roads. The weather couldn’t have been better… well, apart from a little rain! It didn’t spoil the day, and everyone was able to enjoy plenty of miles, smiles and time behind the wheel.

Our route finished at an idyllic countryside pub, where we enjoyed some food, drinks before everyone headed home. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a success. We’re already looking forward to organising more GBS Drive Outs next year and hope you can all join us again!

Our next event is the GBS Track Day at Blyton Park happening in a few weeks on Saturday 3rd October. The event is now fully booked, but you’re still welcome to come along and enjoy the day with us – and grab a few passenger laps in the Zeros! Visit our event page to see more.

Build Your Own GBS Zero...... GBS Zero Mazda Module Build explained.....

It’s been a busy few weeks here at GBS, with plenty of Zero kits being prepared and collected by customers ready to begin their build journeys. Last month to leave the factory was this complete Mazda Module build, and we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at exactly what is included.

In our latest video, Richard talks you through the GBS Zero Mazda Module kit in detail, explaining how the package works and what you can expect when you choose to build your own Zero.

Build Your Zero — Smarter, Faster & More Affordable

Our single-donor Mazda-based Zero kit has been designed to make building your own bespoke sports car as straightforward as possible. Using a Mazda MX-5 donor, the kit provides a flexible and high-specification route into Zero ownership.

The kit is available in six easy modules, allowing you to purchase your build in stages and spread the cost as your project progresses. Alternatively, you can choose the complete package, available from just £18,621 inc. VAT.

If you’re ready to get started, Module One — the foundation of your build — starts from just £3,956 inc. VAT. High Specification as Standard, this is far more than a basic starter kit. The Mazda Module package includes a wide range of new components to help get your build underway, including: New gauges | New seats | Carpet set | Boot cover | Windscreen | ECU | Custom wiring loom and much more!

The aim is simple: you’re not starting from scratch — you’re starting with quality. With your Mazda MX-5 donor and the GBS Zero kit, you have everything you need to create your own truly bespoke Zero. Flexible. Affordable. High Spec.
Whether you want to purchase the kit module by module or go all-in with the complete package, the Mazda Module kit gives you the flexibility to plan your build around your budget and timescale. Every Zero is also an opportunity to create something individual, with a range of options and upgrades available to help make your car your own.

Watch our latest video on the GBS YouTube channel, where Richard takes you through the Mazda Module kit in more detail and explains exactly what you can expect when starting your Zero build. Start planning your dream Zero build today and get on the road to owning a truly bespoke GBS Zero!

The first ever GBS Zero is collected & ready to be enjoyed.....

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of welcoming a very special car back to the factory — the very first GBS Zero ever built.
With the 20th anniversary of the GBS Zero coming up next year, it was a fantastic opportunity to see where the Zero journey began and compare this original car alongside one of our current-generation Zeros.

The evolution over the past two decades is clear to see. From developments in the chassis and suspension to advances in manufacturing, engine options and a huge range of upgrades, the Zero has continued to evolve while always retaining the same lightweight, driver-focused character that has made it so popular with enthusiasts around the world.

This original Zero is Ford Pinto powered and has enjoyed many upgrades and plenty of miles over the years. It was fantastic to welcome the car back to GBS and have the opportunity to look back at the beginnings of a journey that has now spanned almost 20 years.

We’re also delighted to share that this piece of GBS history has now been sold and collected by its new owner. After visiting us last week to see the car before collection and enjoy a test drive, the new owner returned this morning to collect the Zero and take it home.

We’re pleased that this very special car will continue its journey on the road, creating more memories and being enjoyed for many more miles to come.

As we look ahead to celebrating 20 years of the GBS Zero next year, it seems particularly fitting that the very first car has returned to the factory before beginning its next chapter.

We look forward to seeing where the road takes it!

A Fantastic Weekend at GBS – Friday Night at the Factory & Sold-Out GBS Factory Tour....

After a fantastic Friday evening at our last GBS Friday Night at the Factory event of the year, it was straight into another busy day on Saturday as we welcomed a small group of visitors for our GBS Full Factory Tour.

Our factory tours offer a unique opportunity to take a closer look behind the scenes at GBS and see exactly what goes into designing, developing and building our cars. Visitors can explore the different areas of the factory, see a variety of projects currently in progress and learn more about the engineering, manufacturing and specialist work carried out by the GBS team.

From Zero chassis and customer builds through to specialist engineering projects, the tour gives visitors the chance to see much more than they would normally experience during a showroom visit.

We purposely keep the number of places available on each tour limited, helping to create a more personal and intimate experience. This gives everyone the opportunity to ask questions, speak with the team and take their time exploring the factory.

Our Saturday tour was fully booked, and it was fantastic to welcome everyone who joined us. We hope they enjoyed seeing behind the scenes and learning more about the passion, engineering and people behind Great British Sports Cars.

We’ll also be announcing more GBS Factory Tour dates soon, so keep an eye on our website and social media channels.

Busy evening at our last GBS Friday Night at the Factory event.....

Another Fantastic Friday Night at the Factory evening! Despite the rain forecast, which thankfully seemed to miss us, we had another fantastic turnout and an overflowing car park. It was brilliant to see such a great variety of cars arriving throughout the evening, with plenty of familiar faces alongside lots of new visitors joining us.

Friday Night at the Factory is always a great opportunity to bring together the GBS community, customers, friends and fellow car enthusiasts. Whether you own a Zero, are currently building one, are thinking about starting a future project or simply love cars, everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the evening.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these such a brilliant events. We love opening the gates at GBS and sharing our passion for cars, engineering and all things automotive with so many like-minded people.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to Sherwood Fired for the amazing pizzas, which went down a treat at all the Friday events over the summer!

We’ll also be announcing more GBS event dates later this week on our website and social media channels, so make sure you keep an eye out for what we have planned. We hope you can join us at another GBS event soon!

GBS at the PistonHeads Annual Service – What a Fantastic Day!

What a fantastic day we had at this year’s PistonHeads Annual Service at Bicester Motion on Saturday 8th August! The GBS team were up bright and early, getting our stand in the Automotive Hangar ready with a selection of our GBS Zeros and products on display. Once the doors opened, it was clear it was going to be a busy one!

We had a fantastic turnout, with our stand busy throughout the day. It was great to meet so many car enthusiasts, existing GBS owners, prospective builders and people discovering and sitting in the GBS Zero for the first time.

There were plenty of conversations about the Zero, from self-build options and Mazda donor kits to engines, specifications and the different ways we can help customers build their dream car.

The whole GBS team really enjoyed the event and the opportunity to chat with everyone who stopped by. It was also great to see so much interest in the cars and to hear from people who are considering starting their own GBS Zero journey.

A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand, stopped for a chat, asked questions and showed their support. We really appreciate it!

We'd also like to thank the PistonHeads team for the invite and putting on such a fantastic event at Bicester Motion. We had a brilliant time and are already looking forward to the next one!

Designed, engineered and manufactured in-house by the GBS team, this latest addition to our product range offers Zero owners an exciting new upgrade that combines practicality, versatility and performance.

Manufactured using high-quality materials and finished to the same high standards as the rest of our products, each roll cage is produced in-house by the GBS fabrication team, allowing us to maintain complete control over quality throughout the manufacturing process.

As with many of our products, customers can also discuss bespoke finish options to complement their individual build.

Key Features

• Designed and manufactured by Great British Sports Cars

• High-quality fabrication and finish

• Ideal for both road and track use

Fantastic GBS Cars & Coffee event, proudly sponsored by Yokohama Tyres.....

Last Saturday (18th July) we were delighted to welcome another fantastic selection of cars and enthusiasts to GBS for our latest GBS Cars & Coffee event, proudly sponsored by Yokohama Tyres.

From early in the morning, the GBS car park quickly filled with an impressive variety of vehicles, including many GBS Zeros, classic cars, performance cars, modern sports cars, and everything in between. One of the things we enjoy most about our Cars & Coffee events is seeing such a diverse range of vehicles and bringing together like-minded enthusiasts who all share a passion for cars.

Supporting the Next Generation of Engineers at GBS.....

We regularly receive enquiries about work experience opportunities, and whenever possible, we are always keen to support and encourage the next generation of engineers, technicians, and motorsport enthusiasts.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Nathaniel from Fulham Boys School, who joined the GBS team for a week of work experience.

During his time with us, Nathaniel had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across several areas of the business, including our workshop, engineering department, fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing. He also saw first-hand what goes into designing, developing, and building the GBS Zero, as well as the wide range of ATR Products that we manufacture in-house.

Work experience is a fantastic way for young people to gain an insight into the automotive and engineering industry, helping them develop practical skills while learning about the different career opportunities available within motorsport and manufacturing. We hope Nathaniel enjoyed experiencing the day-to-day activities of the GBS team and gained a better understanding of what goes into producing our sports cars and performance components.

It was a pleasure to have Nathaniel with us throughout the week. He showed a great attitude, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn, everyone at GBS wishes Nathaniel every success with his future studies and career, and we look forward to welcoming him back to future GBS events.

If you're interested in engineering, manufacturing, or motorsport, don't forget that we also offer GBS Factory Tours, giving visitors the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see how the GBS Zero and ATR Products are designed and manufactured.

Another fantastic GBS Friday Night at the Factory event.....

On Friday 19th June, we started the weekend in style with our second GBS Friday Night at the Factory event of the year — and what a fantastic evening it was.

With the gates opening at 5pm, it didn't take long for the car park to fill with an impressive variety of vehicles. One of the highlights of the evening was the arrival of the Bond Bug Club, who joined us for part of the evening and created a fantastic display in one corner of the car park. Their colourful and unique cars attracted plenty of attention and made a great addition to the event.

It was also fantastic to see so many GBS Zeros together, alongside a wide variety of other sports cars, classics, performance cars. One of the things we enjoy most about Friday Night at the Factory is seeing such a diverse range of vehicles and enthusiasts come together. Whether you own a Zero, a classic car, a supercar, a motorcycle, or simply enjoy being around great vehicles, everyone is welcome.

Throughout the evening, visitors enjoyed freshly baked pizzas from Sherwood Fired Pizza, along with drinks, cakes, and refreshments served by the GBS team. The warm weather, great company, and relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect summer evening.

These events are all about bringing together the wider automotive community, giving people the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts, catch up with friends, see some fantastic vehicles, and enjoy an evening surrounded by people who share the same passion for cars and motorsport.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. The support for these events continues to grow each year, and it is fantastic to see so many familiar faces alongside plenty of new visitors.

The next GBS Factory Tour date announced... Book you place now.

Following the success of our sold-out Factory Tour event earlier this year, we are delighted to announce that a new date has now been confirmed for 2026.

Back in January, we welcomed visitors from across the country to GBS for a unique behind-the-scenes look at what we do. The event proved extremely popular, with all places selling out and attendees enjoying an exclusive insight into the design, engineering, manufacturing, and assembly processes behind the GBS Zero and our growing range of products.

We are now pleased to offer this opportunity once again, with the next GBS Factory Tour taking place on Saturday 22nd August 2026.

Whether you're considering purchasing a GBS Zero, already own one, are involved in motorsport, or simply have a passion for engineering and manufacturing, this event provides a fascinating look at British engineering in action.

The tour will be led by GBS Director Richard and members of the GBS team, giving visitors the opportunity to hear first-hand how the business started, how it has evolved over the years, and what goes into creating every GBS Zero.

During the tour, visitors will enjoy access to a wide range of areas throughout the business, including:

• GBS Workshop

• Parts Department

• Engineering Department

• ATR Assembly Area

• Fabrication Department

• Composite Manufacturing

• Vehicle Build Areas

• Product Development Projects

• And much more

One of the unique aspects of the tour is the opportunity to see how around 80% of the Zero is designed and manufactured in-house. From chassis fabrication and component manufacturing through to assembly and final preparation, visitors gain a genuine understanding of what makes the GBS Zero so unique.

To ensure everyone enjoys a personal and interactive experience, numbers on each tour are limited. This allows plenty of opportunity to ask questions, speak directly with the team, and gain a deeper understanding of both the cars and the business.

If you'd like to see what previous visitors thought of the experience, head over to the GBS YouTube channel where you can watch a short video from one of our earlier Factory Tours.

What Visitors Have Said

Following one of our previous tours, Mr & Mrs Hartley shared the following review:

"We were one of the very first to go on the tour and what a treat it was. This is a bit different to the normal corporate factory tours we've done before. It felt much more authentic and honest. We were taken around by Richard, the director, so we got to hear first-hand how the business started and how it has grown.

The tour itself was fascinating as you moved around the premises from room to room. GBS is a really small team, but that's what makes the whole business so unique and incredibly special. When you see the finished cars created here, you will be yearning to buy one. The tour brings the whole production process to life and Richard's passion for what him and his team create is clear to see. Highly recommend this tour for its individuality and Britishness."

Group and Bespoke Bookings

In addition to our scheduled Factory Tours, we are also able to arrange visits for larger groups, car clubs, educational, students, corporate events, and private bookings. If you would like to discuss a bespoke visit, please contact the GBS team with your requirements and we will be happy to explore the options available.

Places for the August Factory Tour are expected to fill quickly, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. For full details and to reserve your place, please visit our Events page.

GBS Customer enjoying a strong start to the Motorsport Season in his Zero....

We always love to see customers out enjoying their Zeros, whether on the road, track, or competing in motorsport events around the UK. Recently, we received an update from GBS customer Roy Woodfield, who has been having an impressive season competing in both the Curborough Championship and the Midland Speed Championship with his Zero.

Roy is currently lying 2nd in class and an impressive 9th overall out of 70 competitors entered in the Curborough Championship — a fantastic achievement and a real testament to both his driving and the capability of the Zero platform.

Alongside this, Roy is also competing in the Midland Speed Championship, which gives him the opportunity to compete at a variety of well-known venues around the country. So far this season, he has already tackled the famous Shelsley Walsh hill climb and is preparing for a double-header event at Prescott on 13th and 14th June, followed by Harewood on 1st and 2nd August, alongside additional Midland Speed Championship rounds at Curborough.

Despite only having completed two rounds so far in the Midland Speed Championship, Roy is already sitting 3rd in class and 37th overall, showing just how competitive both he and the car have been this year.

Roy has also been discussing potential upgrades with Richard, including gearbox, suspension setup, and brake improvements, as he looks to further develop the car and continue improving performance. Some of these upgrades may be completed before the end of the current season, with further developments potentially planned over the winter period.

It’s always fantastic for the whole GBS team to see customers using and enjoying their Zeros in competition, and Roy’s results so far this year are a brilliant example of just how capable and versatile the Zero can be in motorsport.

We’d like to wish Roy the very best of luck for the remainder of the season and we look forward to following his progress throughout the year.

GBS enjoys a busy weekend at the National Kit & Sports Car Show.....

Last weekend (30th & 31st May), the GBS team had a fantastic and busy weekend exhibiting at the National Kit Car Show at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to visit our stand over the weekend. It was great to meet so many new faces, catch up with existing customers, and talk to enthusiasts who are considering building their own Zero.

Located in the main exhibition hall, our stand featured a factory-built Ford Duratec-powered Zero, giving visitors the opportunity to get up close to one of our most popular build options. Also on display was our unique half-and-half Zero chassis, which allows you to compare the standard and GT wide-body chassis options side by side and find the best fit for you!

Alongside the Zero range, we also showcased a selection of our ATR products, all of which are designed and manufactured in house by our team. These products continue to prove popular with customers and are available online through our parts and accessories website, Kit Spares.

The weather was perfect throughout the weekend, helping to create a fantastic atmosphere around the showground. The outdoor areas were particularly busy, with a variety of exhibitors, car clubs, trade stands, and lots of interesting vehicles on display especially on the Saturday.

Events like Malvern are always a highlight of the year for the GBS team, providing a great opportunity to showcase the Zero, meet customers face to face, answer questions, and help future owners start planning their dream build.

The next event for the GBS team is our second Friday Night at the Factory event of the year, taking place on Friday 19th June at GBS. Following that, we will be hosting our next GBS Cars & Coffee event, proudly sponsored by Yokohama Tyres, on Saturday 18th July. Both events are open to all enthusiasts and provide a fantastic opportunity to enjoy great cars, meet fellow enthusiasts, and spend time with the GBS team.
