... are they still trading? Webpage is still up but they haven't answered calls or email.

They must have ceased trading, still no contact. It's sad to see such a strong design disappear!

Not really a fan of the dz (looks like a poor man's day kamla to me) but they were the custodians of the ginetta g12 for a while but did not get the promotion or engineering updates that the design deserves in my opinion. The g12 is one of my favourite cars, if this was update to take the vag engine line up in the rear (longitudinal engine plus transaxle) and kept the kit price sensible then This would have done much better I think than trying to sell expensive bespoke cars with high spec engines.

Still a shame to see them go though.

The G4 and G12 are lovely designs.

What is a Kamla? I've Googled it but didn't find anything.

Wrong spelling is why... it's the Dax Kamala;



I'd be surprised if Dare has gone belly-up without the rest of the industry finding out about it: this is the Walketts we're talking about.

Ah... I recognise the Kamala now. I suppose it shows how little I liked that design as I never paid attention to its name!

I hope you are right about them not going belly up: )
