Great British Sports Cars is a leading name in the British and worldwide sports cars industry. With decades of experience GBS offers its Lotus-style range of GBS Zeros from starter model through to fully loaded standard body or wider GT chassis car, either fully factory-built or in component form. The GBS Zero second generation car turns heads, encourages smiles, and creates new friends for the owner.
On Saturday 26th April, you too will be smiling when you join with up to 18 R5 members taking this special opportunity to participate in a full behind the scenes factory tour at the Great British Sports Cars facilities at Boughton, near Ollerton in Notts., seeing how GBS bespoke sports cars are produced.
You can make your own way there or join the Porsche convoy as we head out from Macclesfield for a drive of two hours or so across the Peaks to Bakewell and onward to Chesterfield and our destination.
