Contact
Please get in touch for a chat: richard.lincoln@bcs.org or Facebook messenger, happy to discuss options, most important is someone to drive/tinker and enjoy the car as I have.
Viewing available 5 minutes outside Monmouth, or anywhere local within reason - especially if theres an interesting drive to get to you.
Anyone is welcome as a passenger to see why open top driving is the ONLY way to travel. There are some awesome roads along the Wye valley and into the Brecon Beacons for a test run.

History
Perhaps this is the only GBS Zero with a complete detailed open/public build, maintenance history - the car described on these pages IS the car available for sale this year. The 500+ posts themselves containing the detail and the Maintenance & road trips pages containing the summary.
Seven years and 28.5k miles later this has been an incredible journey - ultimately a faithful and reliable machine which has shared journeys as far north as Norway, west to Land's end, east to Vienna and south to Barcelona. As high as the French alps and Pyrenees and and below sea level in the Netherlands.
I can honestly recommend open top car touring in a kit based on a 1960's design.
It's as much the smiles and waves from people you meet on the way as the 360ยบ views and driving itself.
Happy driving!
