We booked an appointment to see Richard and the team at the GBS factory in Ollerton, North Nottinghamshire.

After a comprehensive tour of the factory, a convincing sales pitch and test drive, we got down to business and placed an order for a Mazda plus kit.

Deposit paid, Kathryn started trawling the web for a donor MX-5 during the drive home!

Whilst we were touring the factory, we were both amazed by the piles and piles of fancy shiny bits they make there for you to upgrade your build with. These options were going to provide some food for thought while we waited for the kit to be manufactured. You won't be surprised to hear that quite a few expensive shiny items got added to the order during the wait...
