Busy weekend at the Newark Kit Car Show....

Last weekend (21st & 22nd September), we had an amazing time at the Newark Kit Car Show at Newark Showground! A huge thank you to everyone who visited us—it was fantastic to see both new and familiar faces. We proudly displayed our 2.5L Ford Duratec-powered Zero demonstrator, a Zero Mazda build, our Zero Race demonstrator, and a fully paneled chassis fresh from production, which will be heading to paint in the next few weeks. Our Zero Race car will also be hitting the track next month at our GBS Track Day at Blyton Park.

Alongside the cars, we showcased a range of ATR Products, all designed and manufactured in-house. You can find all these products and more online at Kit Spares – www.kitspares.co.uk.

Motorbike engine Honda Fireblade powered Zero build…….

The Zero Custom Kit is one of our popular options, offering the flexibility to tailor the Zero to your preferred engine configuration. Whether you're using an already compatible engine or opting for a completely custom installation, this kit allows you to fully customise the powertrain and other key aspects of the car.

Recently, a customer chose a Honda Fireblade engine for his Zero, along with a custom roll bar that the GBS team fitted to his original chassis. This marks his 4th Zero build, and he wanted something a bit different this time around. He's now ready to start his build! Check out our GBS YouTube channel for more details on this unique Honda Fireblade Zero build, and hear directly from the customer. You can also watch another video on a completed Kawasaki 1400 GTR-powered Zero, which is already being enjoyed on the road!

Students enjoy a Factory Tour at GBS.....

Earlier this month we welcomed students from St George’s Academy from Sleaford, Lincolnshire to enjoy a full factory to show what we do. They got to see what we do and the whole process of building a sports car along with the products that we manufacture, with nearly every part on the car manufactured on site by our team they were very impressed and inspired by what we do.
The Zero build is an ideal educational tool in engineering and technical programs. Students are able to gain practical experience developing their knowledge and understanding of engineering in a practical application. As well as being an exciting and captivating project for students a GBS Zero build maintains interest and enthusiasm with a real sense of achievement as each stage is completed. With the end result not only being an enjoyable sports car but a worth while asset too.

Review from Mr & Mrs Hartley / GBS Factory Tour on 03/02/24:
We were one of the very first to go on the tour.  And what a treat it was too!  This is a bit different to the normal corporate factory tours we’ve done before.  This felt much more authentic and honest.  Not rehearsed nor delivered by a member of staff.  We were taken around by Richard , the director.  So we got to hear first hand how the business started and how the business has grown.  The tour itself was fascinating as you moved around the premises from room to room (which is like a Tardis!) GBS is a really small team, but that’s what makes this whole business so unique and so incredibly special.  When you see the finished masterpieces created here you will be yearning to buy one.  Anyone who wants a Caterham will think again after visiting.  The tour brings the whole production to life and Richard’s passion for what he believes in and ultimately what him and his team creates will leave you feeling you have to buy a car!  Highly recommend this tour for its individuality and Britishness!
