Thank you for joining us at our GBS Cars & Coffee event.... Sponsored By Witham Motorsport & Motul

A big thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday (11th June) at GBS for our second Cars and Coffee event of 2022……. What a fantastic day we had with great weather, cars and cake, a car park full of sports cars. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to you all for joining us and helping us make it such a great event and enjoyable day, it was nice to see so many Zero’s together in the car park along with a wide variety of other sports cars. It was nice to see several new Zero’s that were newly registered also join us for the first time. The gates opened at 10am and by 11am the car park was already getting full, the weather was perfect and could not have been better!

The GBS and Kit Spares show room was very busy with people and the Kit Spares   Shop was also very busy with sales and enquires. As usual the cakes attracted a lot of attention and certainly went down well with not many left along with the unlimited supply of tea and coffee. We would also like to thank Witham Motorsport and Motul for sponsoring and supporting our event, and for providing lots of Motul freebies for us all.

On Saturday we were also pleased that Paul Barnes our USA representative was able to join us for the day, Paul has been over here again to help coordinate the next few shipments of the ever growing GBS Zero’s that are heading to the USA very soon.

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 soon how much money we have raised.

The GBS Camera was out capturing the day and all the action, please see below a few photographs from the day and a video will be added to our GBS YouTube Chanel very soon.

Its almost a year since we announced our partnership project with Motul and Motul UK Distributors Witham Motorsport to produce the Zero Motul Edition sports car, which we are delighted will be back with us here at GBS for our next GBS Cars & Coffee event which is happening on Saturday 11th June at GBS that is sponsored by Witham Motorsport and Motul.

Motul and the Witham Motorsport have supplied us with their products for several years and we were excited to work with them on this special project. The Zero is hand built bespoke to your individual specification and the Zero Motul Edition was certainly an example of that, the car that had been spec’d out between ourselves and Motul which has some very nice unique Motul Design features that you will be able to see if you are coming to our Cars & Coffee event.

The Zero Motul Edition is 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.

The Zero Motul Edition has been seen at many different events since it was revealed for the very first time at the Silverstone Classic Show last year. Here are just a few events where it can be seen over the next few months, The Suffolk Show – 31st May & 1st June, Lincolnshire Show – 22nd & 23rd June and Norfolk Show – 29th & 30th June. Updates on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport, GBS and related UK Social Media sites too. You can see the full story and build of this very special Zero here.

The Motul Edition Zero will hopefully also be joining us on our Jubilee Zero Run Out that we have planned for Thursday 2nd June. If you would like to join us in your Zero then please find more details here.
