GBS & KIT SPARES HAD A GREAT WEEKEND AT EXETER KIT CAR SHOW......






Great British Sports Cars and Kit Spares had a very busy and successful weekend at Exeter Kit Car Show, it was a great weekend with alot of interest in the Zero. Also at the show it was great to see GBS customer Colin Squibb who has the first factory built zero GT that he collected from us back in August. He is delighted with the Zero and how it performs, Colin has also added a few personal touches to his Zero by painting the Bonnet and Scuttle top which we think makes the car look even more stunning.
At the show we also joined all the other exhibitors for a drink to say thank you to organiser John Cook who runs the Kit Car Show as he is now retiring. We would like to say thank you for all his help over the years and wish him an enjoyable retirement.

Next month Great British Sports Cars will be attending Motor Sport UK (Coventry) on 5th &6th November and then The Professional Motor Sport Show in Cologne Germany 15th, 16th and 17th November.
