It’s been a very busy month with Zero kit collections and also the export of several Zeros to the USA and other places. Including the shipment of the NEW USA Generation2 Zero demonstrator which will be arriving with Paul our USA Representative middle of next month. We will share more details on the specification and build of this new demonstrator with you once it arrives in the USA.

We have designed a Zero Self Build Kit specifically for the North American Market which is based around the abundant Mazda MX5 / Miata MK1-2.5 as a donor. The Mazda based Zero kit uses the unique design features of the current Ford based Zero. The Mazda MX5 / Miata serves perfectly as a donor, and is readily available worldwide with sales of over 900,000 cars.
The kit utilises MX5’s (Mk1, Mk2, Mk2.5) from 1989 through to 2005 in either RHD or LHD. Other donor and engine combinations are available upon request.

There are several Zeros now registered and on the road in the USA and others that are still being built soon to be registered.

The NEW GBS Motul Edition Zero revealed at The Silverstone Classic....

At the weekend the brand new GBS Zero Motul Edition was revealed to the public for the first time at the Silverstone Classic Show on the Motul Stand with Witham Motorsport. The Zero attracted a lot attention over the 3 days and the big reveal on the Friday really created a crowd and a lot of media attention. The car was revealed by Martin Lines, who won the competition to design the livery and Motul. On the Saturday the new Zero Motul Edition also got to make its first appearance on the track at Silverstone where it took part in the parade lap, which Martin also enjoyed the experience of being the passenger.
The whole GBS team have been involved in this special Zero build and we are all very proud of it and the whole build process and story has been captured and we are pleased to now share the video and story with you all.

We look forward to sharing more news about this special Zero, and hope that you all get to see it at some point as it will hopefully be at more events throughout the year.

More about the Zero Motul Edition and the Story…..

The project to build this unique MOTUL-EDITION GBS ZERO was formed from a special partnership with UK car manufacturer, Great British Sports Cars (GBS), Witham Motorsport and Motul. The lightweight hand-crafted sports car was built by the Nottinghamshire engineering company and from its machining of metal billets through all of the necessary turning, drilling and assembly processes, we believe this is the first car in the world to be made and run on lubricants from the same manufacturer, in this case Motul.

From cutting oils to hydraulic fluids used in the manufacturing process to make all the parts, to fluids used throughout the car, including: engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, and greases, this car has been made to a performance standard with very special specifications. Along with its livery, chosen from a UK national design competition, the car has Motul uniquely sculpted onto, or etched into, the brake callipers, headlamp covers, interior upholstery and even the chassis itself.

The ultra-lightweight Zero sports car is powered by a 2.5 litre Ford Duratec engine, specially prepared by Neil Brown Engineering, the company that provides the motive power for the UK FIA Formula 4 championship - a series where Motul is proud to be the lubricant partner, providing the spec engine oil for all competitors. With a 240BHP unit, a dry sump oil system, ATR throttle bodies and a kerb weight of only 600kg, the Motul-Edition GBS Zero will have a power to weight ratio of almost 500BHP/Tonne, which will make it extremely rapid.

Going forward the GBS Zero Motul Edition will be used to promote Motul products and British engineering and will be seen with customers and our drivers and race teams, throughout the UK. The winner of the best design idea for the car was Martin Lines from Bedfordshire, UK, and his entry was chosen by the judging panel (made up of Motul, Witham Motorsport and GBS Directors) for its ingenious use of all the GBS Zero and Motul creative branding elements. The under 16 age category prize winner, was Kaira Milburn age 10, from Maidstone in Kent, who sent in an amazing colourful design.

As Motul UK Distributors, Witham Motorsport are the driving force behind the project. As Managing Director, Nigel Bottom explains; ”We have been supplying Motul products to Great British Sportscars for some time and, having had the chance to meet Richard (Hall) and tour the factory, I was hugely impressed by the depth of their engineering skill, by their innovative ideas and by the fact that there was potentially a great story to be told, on the start-to-finish and beyond part, that Motul plays in the construction of this GBS Zero. The idea of a Motul-Edition seemed like a logical extension of this and so we embarked on what is a truly novel venture for a lubricant brand.”

Motul has many exciting partnerships in which it is active around the world, but Silverstone’s Classic has been chosen as the venue for the car to make its public debut for a number of reasons, as Motul’s UK Business Development Manager Andy Wait explains. “We were delighted earlier this year to announce our partnership with Silverstone for The Classic. It is a huge festival of enthusiast motoring, with more than 100,000 people expected, so we wanted to make our first appearance there memorable and, therefore, to have the climax of the Motul GBS Zero initiative at Silverstone seems apt. Also, of course, the car shape has a retro look and feel to it, so it fits in with the spirit of the classic event, as well as, offering us a great chance to showcase so much of what Motul can offer to the public.”

Motul Lubricants -
Motul Autocool Optimial - Coolant
Motul 300V Power Racing 5w30 – Ideal for fast road & track
Motul Gear Comp. 75w140 - Diff
Motul Gear 300 75w90 – Gearbox

Motul Tech Soluble cutting fluids have been used throughout the manufacturing process of the car and engineering of all the cars components.

All the Motul Lubricants that have been used to fill the GBS Zero Motul Edition are available from our parts shop Kit Spares, along with the very impressive new Motul Car Care products that we are using.

Richard & Peer at GBS going through the Zero Self Build options. (October 2018).

After several emails about the Zero Self build options GBS Customer Peer Moberg then visited the GBS Factory in October 2018 where the order was placed for his Zero self build kit, Peer also came back to the UK and joined us at the Classic Motor Show in November later that year where we had a stand displaying the Zero’s and a range of parts. January 2019 we were pleased to welcome Peer back to the GBS Factory to collect his newly painted Zero and parts. Peer left with a fully loaded van of parts including a very nice 2.5l Duratec engine dressed with ATR Throttle bodies. After a long drive of 2900km behind the wheel and 4 ferries Peer made it back to Norway.

In May 2020 Peer’s Zero was complete and registered and has been enjoyed on the road ever since and we recently received this collection of photographs from Peer of his Zero, that we wanted to share with you all.

Talk through Customers Zero Mazda build that we recently presented to IVA......

We often have some very nice Zeros and other sports cars that are with us in the workshop for various works like the IVA Service, MOT Testing, Track Day Preparations and more. Including this very nice Mazda Zero build, that was built by GBS Customer Kevin Broomhead. Which is a great example of a Zero Mazda build, and we wanted to share more with you. So whilst it was with us in the workshop, Matt our workshop manager talks you around it in detail. Click here to watch the video on our GBS YouTube Chanel.

The Mazda based Zero kit uses the Mazda MX5 as a donor. The Mazda MX5 (Miata) serves perfectly as a donor, and is readily available worldwide with over 900,000 donor cars produced. The Mazda MX5 donor Zero utilises (Mk1, Mk2, Mk2.5) from 1989 through 2005 in either right or left hand drive.

You can select from a variety of packages to suit all budgets from our starter kit through to a complete kit of components that can be assembled easily by yourself. More details can be found here on our website about the Zero self build options.

Its been a busy few weeks with Zero Self Build Kit collections and the next few weeks look busy too. Yesterday we welcomed Father and Son Jason and James Wilding back to GBS to collect their Zero Mazda based self build kit. This is going to be a Father and Son Zero build and also supported by James’s Uncle who joined them to collect it. We look forward to following their build as it progresses and sharing it with you all.

We also have finance available for the Zero range which makes it even easier to own a Zero or to make that dream of building your own sports car happen! Click here for more details about the Zero range.

It’s always nice when we get families order a GBS Zero self build and make it a project that they can all enjoy together. We get a lot of Father and Sons of all ages who purchase a Zero self build kit as a project to build and enjoy together, as well as others who go for the factory built option. If you have already got a GBS Zero or sports cars don’t forget our Gift Vouchers from Kit Spares might be a nice idea…. There is always something on the Kit Spares website that I’m sure you would like, just a few ideas below for you to consider.

Zero painted and builds progressing..... Send us your build photos?

Its always nice to receive photos of Zeros being enjoyed and build update photos. We recently received this photograph from GBS Customer Chris McQueen of his newly painted Zero, which has now been fully painted in British Racing Green. We prepared and presented Chris’s Zero to IVA last year, where it can be seen here in aluminium, the full paint really does transform the Zero and is now a popular option. You can see more recently painted Zeros on our GBS Instagram.

Another Zero Ultimate Self Assembly build that we painted and delivered to GBS Customer Jim Burge end of last year is coming along very nicely and we can’t wait to see it on its wheels. This Zero will be powered by the 2.5 Duratec engine on ATR Throttle Bodies along with all the other options and upgrades that we offer including the full carbon fibre trim.

It looks like we will be seeing a lot of new Zeros that are now registered and on the road at our Cars & Coffee event that is happening next month, visit our event page for more details. Click here to send us your photographs of your Zero.

Saturday 26th June

We are excited to share with you all that we have now confirmed the new date for the first 2021 GBS Cars & Coffee event, which will be taking place on Saturday 26th June at GBS from 10am-2pm.

As many of you know everyone at GBS has a strong passion for cars and anything to do with motorsport and we love our Cars & Coffee events and Track Days etc. But sadly, last year (2020) and earlier this year we have not been able to host and exhibit at any events due to Covid-19.

But as the lockdown restrictions are now easing and we are slowly getting back to normality we felt now is the right time to host our popular Cars & Coffee event at GBS.

The GBS Cars & Coffee event at GBS was created in 2016 and has since been a massive success & we have continued to hold the event again for several years. Our Cars & Coffee ( & Cake) events often see our car park overflowing with many different sports cars, the event is also becoming renowned for its home made cakes!
Its an event that we have created that gives the chance for you all to have a ride out in your sports cars / meeting point and enjoy a coffee (plus biscuits/ cake of course) and chat about your cars, all are welcome to join us in any car (modern or classic including bikes).

Help us make Saturday 26th June the best GBS Cars & Coffee event yet & raise more money for two great charities…. We will be collecting for the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research.

On the day the Kit Spares shop and showroom ( www.kitspares.co.uk ) will be open 10am -1pm, with social distancing and restriction on numbers entering at one time. Please feel free to call and pre order ready to collect on the day.

We’ll be adhering to the latest Covid-19 guidelines, and will do all we can to make sure the event can go ahead safely. All the GBS team look forward to seeing you all.

*Please note this event could change due to the current Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions.

NEW PARTNERSHIP PROJECT WITH MOTUL..... The Zero Motul-Edition.

We are excited to announce our new partnership project with Motul and Motul UK Distributors Witham Motorsport. Motul and the Witham Motorsport have supplied us with their products for several years and we are excited to be working with them on this new  project, which will be revealed end of July at the Silverstone Classic Show who Motul are also in partnership with. 

The Zero is hand built bespoke to your individual specification and this Zero Motul Edition is certainly an example of that, the car that has been spec’d out between ourselves and Motul has some very nice unique Motul Design features that we can’t wait to share with you.   

The Zero Motul Edition will be powered by a Ford Duratec engine, specially prepared by Neil Brown Engineering, the company that provides the motive power for the UK FIA Formula 4 championship  - a series where Motul is proud to be the lubricant partner, providing the spec engine oil for all competitors.

We believe this is going to be the first car in the world to be made and run on lubricants from the same manufacturer, in this case Motul. From cutting oils to hydraulic fluids used in the manufacturing process to make all the parts, to fluids used throughout the car, including: engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, greases and even Witham screenwash, this will be made to a performance standard with bespoke specifications.

Also Launching immediately is a competition where enthusiasts can design the livery for this prototype car and subsequent production examples. From today, through to the end of May, anyone in the UK can download the car’s blueprint drawings as part of an official entry form on a dedicated competition webpage, which they can then design up and submit, for the chance to be part of the official unveiling as Motul’s guests at the Silverstone Classic, seeing their livery design becoming reality.

This somewhat special opportunity will see the winner receiving family passes to be Motul’s guests at Silverstone’s Classic and some great Motul gear will head the way of the winners together, of course, with the overall winner seeing their design come to life. A panel of judges, which will include some well-known names from the world of motoring, will decide on the winning entries. 

Updates on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport, GBS and related UK Social Media.
More details of the Livery Design Competition and official entry form are available here .
The Classic at Silverstone runs from the 30th of July to 1st August. 

First 2021 Run Out in the Zeros..... Thank you for joining us.

Last Saturday (1st May) we enjoyed a run out in the Zero’s, where we all met at GBS in the car park to then enjoy a drive out together. The route that we planned was similar to last years run out covering around 50 miles, which was through some lovely villages and country roads finishing in a nice idyllic location in the countryside where we took the opportunity to enjoy some food. The weather was perfect for us and the rain held off, we would like to thank you all for joining us and making it such an enjoyable day.
We look forward to organising another run out in the Zeros later in the year. Join our GBS Mailing List to be kept up to date with our latest news and events.

Testing at Blyton Park with a customers Zero and other performance car....

We always have a workshop full of Zeros and often have other interesting cars with us that we are doing work on and bespoke fabrication. One GBS Customer has a Zero and also owns this Repco Brabham sports car which some of you may have seen in the workshop when you visited last year. It was with us for engine, electrical and custom works and earlier this year it was back with us for the geometry set up and to prepare it for its test and set up day at the track.

Where last month we booked a test day at Blyton Park for the Brabham to be be put through it paces on the track to see how it performed, some of the GBS Workshop team also attended to make sure the set up was correct and to make any required adjustments to the setup. It was a successful and enjoyable day and the car performed well with only a few minor tweaks required. Denis also enjoyed several laps of the track in his Zero too, and can’t wait to join us on our next GBS Track Day. The Brabham is now all set up and ready for its Hill Climb event which is happening later next month, we look forward to hearing how it gets on.

Its always great to see what customers also have in their car collections along with the Zero, and we are pleased to offer a full range of workshop and engineering / fabrication services for the Zero and other sports cars. Click here for more details about what we offer including our IVA Service.
