Makes for an interesting read that...

Interesting yes but all the equipment and stock is being auctioned off in the next few days which would make it more difficult to restart the company up again.

Only the stock of the company operating under licence - not the original jigs and IP if that thread is correct.

Looks like everything is up for auction

Can't see mounds/jigs etc. so not quite everything!

Just watched the video of the 2014 factory tour and from looking at that, and looking at the auction, it looks like a lot of the business has gone before it go to auction stage. Where are all the tools and the motors and the cars the company owned????

It would appear they are owned by Chris who owns the land, building, jigs etc. It was all rented to the company that has gone bust.

All explained in the link.

To be fair Chris didn't have to post on the thread nor did he have to post his mobile phone number

I can understand the grievences from the folks that have lost money but I though he answered their questions/queries pretty well to be fair

Who knows if it will start up again though ? It will take awhile for it all to die down I would imagine...
