We are excited to be returning to the Goodwood The Festival of Speed later this year with the Zero’s. The last time we exhibited at Goodwood Festival of Speed with the Zero’s was back in 2013, so after many years we are delighted to be going back this year.
It is the largest motoring garden party in the world – an incredible four days that brings together an impossibly heady mix of cars, stars and motorsport ‘royalty’ to create the largest car culture event in the world. Held in the immaculate grounds of Goodwood House, this annual hillclimb event is a true celebration of motorsport and all things automotive. More details and our stand location can be found on our events page.

We are now busy preparing for our next event on the GBS Calendar which is first GBS Cars & Coffee event of the year which is taking place at the GBS Factory very soon on Saturday 21st March at the GBS Factory.

Last year our cars and coffee event that we held in March  was our biggest and busiest ever event, with the car park over flowing, and this year we are hoping you can join us and that its going to be even better!  As always, expect to see plenty of Zero’s in the car park along with a range of other sports cars, our parts shop Kit Spares will be open on the day, and there will be plenty of cakes and unlimited tea and coffee for you all to enjoy, whilst helping us to raise more money for two great charities…. We will be collecting for the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research.

Fantastic day at our GBS Christmas Cars & Coffee event….

The last event of 2019 happened last Saturday (7th December) at the GBS Factory, we held our GBS Christmas Cars & Coffee event. It was a fantastic day and great event and nice to see so many people join us and lots of new faces. The weather could not have been better for it, it was cold but stayed dry it was the morning for the sports cars to be out the garage, the car park was busy all day with people and sports cars. We love how we get lots of Zero owners join us as well a full range of other sports cars, there is always something interesting to see!

We were also delighted that Bernd and the team were able to join us for the weekend from Germany and we think you will all agree the food (Currywurst, German Sausages in bread rolls along with Gluhwein) they were cooking and serving for us all was excellent and enjoyed by everyone along with all the tea, coffee, Christmas Cake and Mince Pies that also went down very well, we had non left! We hope to have raised lots of money for our chosen charities too.

We would also like to thank Richard Scarborough from Witham Motorsport for supporting our event and proving mugs and goodies for you all to enjoy, it was also great that Richard was able to enjoy us on the day too. If you visit our Kit Spares shop you will see a full range of Witham Motorsport Oil that we stock. The Kit Spares shop was also busy on the day with people collecting orders that had been placed, and buying parts to keep busy over the Christmas holidays.

At the end of the day our Zero demonstrator was busy doing a few passenger rides, including a test drive enjoyed by a visitor that came over from Greece especially for the event after seeing it on Facebook. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to you all for joining us, and hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. If you were unable to make it then please remember that you are always welcome to come and see us at the GBS Factory anytime, we don’t have any mince pies left but we always have plenty of biscuits if you visit before Christmas or anytime!

GBS Featured in Magazine & Interesting sports cars in the GBS Car Park....

A few months ago we welcomed Editor Steve Hole from TKC Magazine to GBS where he looked around the factory and enjoyed a drive in our new Zero Gen 2 demonstrator. It had been a few years since Steve last visited so a lot has changed and developed. Steve took our new Zero Gen 2 demonstrator out for a test drive, we are very lucky as we have some great roads close to the factory so Steve was able to put the car through it paces to see what he thought….  When Steve arrived back from his test drive in the new Zero he got out the car and shook Richards hand and said “This car is brilliant, that’s all I can say really”. It’s nice to see that the full feature on GBS and our new Zero Gen 2 can now be seen in this month’s TKC Magazine November / December Issue which is out now in the shops.

Our new Zero demonstrator can be seen this weekend (8th-10th November) on our stand at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC along with two other nice Zero’s one of which will be for sale. Follow us on Instagram to see photos during the show and behind the scenes.

Our last GBS Cars & Coffee event was also featured in Complete Kit Car Magazine last month too. Will you be joining us on Saturday 7th December at GBS for our Christmas Cars and Coffee event? Click here for more details

The GBS Workshop often has some very interesting and sometimes unusual cars in, as does the GBS Car park and last week I spotted this little green sports car in the car park.... It was an original Frazer Nash Targa Florio Mk2, which captured the interest of all the GBS Team. We have also recently prepared and presented a very different vehicle to IVA, which some of you may have seen when you visited the GBS Workshop. We will share more on that with you all next week.

Rolls-Royce Motor Club visit GBS for a Factory Tour….

Watch video
A_e1c8e069-df6b-4cb4-a660-c982598e51c0.jpg

We get a lot of enquires for Factory Tours for owners clubs and sports car clubs all over the country, earlier this year we were approached by Henry a GBS Customer who has a Zero Race to ask if we would do a factory tour for  a club he is a club secretary for which is the Rolls Royce Motor Club.

We offer a few Factory Tour dates throughout the year including weekends and evenings and on Saturday we were pleased to welcome 25 members from the Rolls-Royce Motor Club to the GBS factory for a  tour of our facilities with Richard and the GBS team. During their tour they saw a lot of behind the scenes of how our bespoke sports cars and products are produced. Thomas was in our Machine Shop demonstrating what he does on the CNC machines and how parts are designed and manufactured. Two members of the club have built a Zero sports car and it was great to see that one of them arrived in his Zero, despite the heavy rain on the day!

Feed back from the tour was very positive and enjoyed by all, one member emailed to say
GBS is an amazing company. Their engineering exceeded by far my expectations. They can potentially redefine the kit-car and definitely set new standards for the "sevens". Their parts are retrofitted in other "sevens".
It is one of the those stories "if what is available on the market is not good enough, DIY" And all these with very competitive prices. – Anestis G, Rolls-Royce employees Motor Club

The morning generally starts with tea/coffee and biscuits in the GBS Show room then onto the GBS Workshop, Design & Development Room, Machine & Engineering, Clean Room, Kit Spares Store and then back into the showroom for more refreshments, questions and often a test drive in one of our Zero demonstrators.
Our GBS Factory Tours are free but we ask for a kind donation to be made to our chosen charities which are Cancer Research UK and Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance.

We hope that the Rolls Royce Motor Club all enjoyed their visit to GBS and we would like to say thank you for your kind donations that you made on the day. Click here to see a short video that we created of when the Rolls Royce Motor Club members visited us.

See the Zero & GBS Team in USA next month... At The Miatas Reunion....

We are pleased to share with you all that Great British Sports Cars will be exhibiting again at this years Miatas Reunion at Laguna Seca 2019 in Monterey California , which is taking place 11th – 13th October.  You will find GBS with several Mazda based Zero’s located in the garages on pit road at this legendary race venue and around town during the weekend. Some of the GBS Team will also be there along with Paul Barnes who is our USA representative.

Miatas at Laguna Seca is an annual event for all things Miata with hundreds of cars attending each year.  The event combines hard-core track time with more laid back, friendly gatherings. Given our GBS Zero takes the proven Miata performance to a whole new level we felt it a fitting venue to showcase the Zero to Miata enthusiasts from around north America.

Now in its 10th year at Laguna Seca, the Miata Reunion is an annual celebration of the MX-5 Miata, offering quality track time at an iconic venue for hard-core track enthusiasts, as well as a full plate of off-track activities and social interaction for Miata lovers. Follow us on our social media during the event to see more photographs.

 The GBS Zero is very popular in the USA with several Zero’s now on the road and many that are currently being built as well as several more kits that we are currently preparing to export later this year. We look forward to sharing with you all photos and news during and after the event.

More details can be found on our GBS event page and please click here for more details about the Zero USA Self Build Option.

 Another great thing about our GBS Cars & Coffee events that we love, is that we are able to raise money for our 2 chosen charities which are the Cancer Research UK and The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, we all feel and hope you agree that The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is a fantastic service and has helped & will continue to help many people, as well as the Cancer Research UK that is again a fantastic charity that makes a big difference to so many people and their families. We will let you know how much money we have raised.

 The GBS Camera was out capturing the day and all the action, please see a few photographs from the day and more can be seen on our GBS Facebook page later this week. We will be announcing our next GBS Cars & Coffee event date very soon which will be happening in December.

Fantastic 3 days at Goodwood Revival with the Zero….

We had another great year at this years Goodwood Revival with the Zero….. Last weekend (13th-15th September) we were at The Goodwood Revival show with the GBS Zero, it was a fantastic event and a truly amazing show to be at, its one of our favourite events of the year and we always look forward to it! We were situated Over The Road on stand 381, on a slightly different stand location to previous years as the location of all the stands got moved around this year.

We had our new Zero demonstrator on display which attracted a lot of attention over the 3 days along with a sample range of components and engines. We will share more details and the specification of our new Zero Gen 2 Demonstrator with you later this week.

Our stand was busy all weekend and the weather was perfect, we all enjoyed the show and it was fantastic to see all of the racing out on the circuit and up close in the paddock as well as Air Displays, Shopping and much more, as well as catch up with suppliers, customers and friends… We would like to thank everyone that visited our stand.

We are now back at the factory, busy getting ready for our next event that is happening this Saturday (21st September) which is our GBS Cars & Coffee event. Gates open at 10am, let us know you are coming and share with your friends and family, all are welcome in any car!

It is approaching that time of year again and we are very excited to be exhibiting with the Zero’s at Goodwood Revival which is happening on 13th – 15th September. We will confirm nearer the time what Zero will be on display along with some very nice pieces of engineering.
This is one of our favourite shows of the year and we all always look forward to it, we can be found in a slightly different stand location to last year we can be found on Stand Number 381 Over the Road. We are now just busy preparing and planning the stand details for the event. If you get the opportunity to go to this event we would recommend it as it is 3 days full of fantastic Motorsport with so much to see and enjoy for all the family.

Last weekend we had this stunning Zero on display on the Yokohama Stand at the Silverstone Classic Show. Yokohama, was proud to have returned for its second year and as the official tyre partner of the Silverstone Classic. We were delighted to have been invited to have a Zero on their stand for the event which was busy all weekend. We would like to thank Yokohama for inviting us and allowing us to have this Zero on their stand for the event.
