Busy time in the USA for the GBS Team...

The start of November has been very busy for the GBS team! We flew to the USA for an amazing event, then headed straight back to the UK to exhibit at the Classic Motor Show. Richard, Matt, and our USA representative, Paul Barnes, had an incredible time representing GBS at this year’s Miata Reunion 2024 at Sonoma Raceway in the USA earlier this month! Our stand showcased a stunning line up of Mazda-based Zeros, joined by several customers who proudly displayed their finished Zeros alongside us.

In addition to the weekend’s event, two freshly completed Zero kits were recently shipped and are on their way to new U.S. owners and have now arrived. Back at GBS we have another Zero that is now packed and prepped for collection soon, and we’re aiming to have it arrive just in time for the Christmas holidays or just after! Excitingly, we’re also launching our GBS USA Hire Car in 2025, giving U.S. enthusiasts the chance to experience the thrill of driving a Zero for themselves.

The Miata Reunion was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our growing community in the USA and it was also great to catch up with many Zero builders out there. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see the Zeros and talk to the team! Afterwards, the team headed to Las Vegas for the SEMA Show—an unforgettable experience and great day meeting new contacts and suppliers.

Please contact us for more information on the Zero models, USA options, or global shipping.

GBS ZERO: THE 21ST CENTURY CATERHAM 7…….

Its been a busy few months for the GBS team with lots of exciting things planned and happening. We were thrilled to recently welcome the team from Evo magazine to our GBS headquarters. The visit was an excellent opportunity to showcase what we do best—crafting exceptional sports cars. Evo’s visit included a behind-the-scenes look at our workshop, where they met with our dedicated team and learned more about the meticulous process that goes into building our cars and products.

But the day didn’t end there! Before their visit we also had the pleasure of joining Evo on one of their track days with our Zero demonstrator at Bedford Autodrome, putting our car through its paces on the track. The Zero performed brilliantly, demonstrating the performance and handling that make it a standout choice for driving enthusiasts. We’re excited to share that you can now read more about this in the latest issue of the EVO Magazine (September 2024 Issue /325). Buy your copy of EVO Magazine here.

We are extremely proud to have raised money for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity...

We are extremely proud to have raised a fantastic £1,852.29 for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity. A big thank you to all the generous donations we receive at our Cars & Coffee events and other events we host. We were delighted to be invited to the LNAA HQ yesterday to meet the team and see what happens behind the scenes as well as present some of the amazing team with a cheque yesterday for the money that we have raised so far. The helicopter was out on a mission when we visited but we saw the Critical Care Cars which are just as amazing equipped with the latest medical technology, and we got to see what is involved in the service that they offer which is truly amazing.
The money raised helps buy vital equipment that allows the crew to take critical A&E care to injured people and save lives. The Air Ambulance is called out 4-5 times a day on average, often dealing with traumatic scenes. We are in awe of the amazing work that they do saving lives every day – Which is all funded by donations. Click here to see more about Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity.

We are also pleased to collect for the Cancer Research UK Charity at our events too. 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 look forward to raising more money from future events for these fantastic charities, visit our event page to see more details about our events.
