Full day of GBS Factory Tours.... More dates will be released soon.

Full Factory Tour of GBS….

Last month we hosted another GBS Factory Tour event where we welcomed guests over 3 booked timed slots. We are pleased to offer this opportunity for a privileged insight into everything that goes into creating the GBS Zero and associated products that we manufacture.
If you are thinking of buying a GBS Zero, have one already or if you are into your motorsport and engineering and would love to see what we do then this is the event for you.
The tour was led by Richard the Director of Great British Sports Cars and the team, which included a Tour of the GBS Workshop, Parts Department, Engineering and Assembly Area, Fabrication, Composites and more. The numbers per tour are limited to give a more personal experience. The next Factory tour dates will be later in the year and announced very soon so keep checking our event page for updates and head to our GBS YouTube Channel where you will see a short video of our factory tour experience.

If you wish to enquire about a larger group, car club, students, bespoke corporate or private individual booking, please contact us with your requirements and we will get back to you.

We welcomed the Drake Family to the morning tour, who currently have their very own Zero Self build kit on order, so they will be back very soon to collect it, below are a few words of their experience of the tour….

Drake Family / GBS Factory Tour on 29 June 2024
We were delighted to have the chance to attend the GBS Factory Tour in June, firstly after placing the recent kit order with GBS, it was a fantastic opportunity to see where the chassis was going to be built, but secondly it was brilliant just getting to see the insides of a small volume sportscar manufacturer and all the fascinating detail that goes into so many parts of the car and their small scale manufacturing processes. 
In fact, the tour started with an interesting bit of background into the company and Richard’s journey to GBS ownership, and its certainly moved forward great strides compared to those Robin Hood days.  We really enjoyed understanding the other areas of specialist engineering that GBS get involved with too, outside of the car builds. 

As we progressed round the tour, Richard was then able to describe many of the manufacturing techniques employed across their business, highlighting how and why they are important to the overall outcome and make-up of the GBS Zero.  This included answering the many questions we had which was really nice to have that chance for general Q&A as we went round. In fact, the number of people on the tour are kept to small groups, and that gave us chance to ask specific questions to our build too (Richard does ensure a great customer experience, remembering and pointing out specific detail of my chosen build spec!).

Outside of the tour and more related to the overall experience, we really appreciated the attention and courtesy given to us by the whole GBS team, we always felt welcomed and the route through the factory was well choreographed, flowing from one area to another and keeping the interest of ‘what’s next?’.
We all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and as you might imagine, it gave us even more confidence in the choice to go with GBS. We’re really looking forward to receiving the chassis now and getting into our build.
Richard, Jonathan and Ron Drake.
