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

/ Great British Sports Cars/

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."
