WHAT A CRACKER

Another nice Zero Mazda Build was recently in the GBS workshop for IVA Service which caught my eye.
Coolio!
This build has recently left the Great British Sports Cars workshop for the company’s IVA Service and is now waiting for its age-related registration plats and V5C to come through before it can be enjoyed on the road.
While it was there GBS did a short overview video of the car that can now be seen on the GBS YouTube Channel.
