This is in sync w/ that Westfield rumor from April....here is a quote:

 

"In February 2006, Mr Segal reached an agreement with the owner of Westfield to buy that company for a fixed consideration on agreed terms. Great British Sports Cars ("GBS") will be formed for the purpose of acquiring Westfield and Robin Hood thus consolidating and dominating the British kit car industry".

 

 

Thus, one obvious conclusion is that Segal has moved RHSC out from under the problems of the parent company to another company he owns, that way allowing RHSC to continue to operate w/out being dragged down by the parent company's insolvancy.

 

Here's the link to the westfield rumor from april:

It will be very interesting to see how this set up works. I can't for one minute envisage Westfield prices coming down (parts are so hideously expensive from them) or for that matter the quality of parts for Hoodies going up, without the prices increasing accordingly.

Oh, i am not convinced that the Westfield part of the rumor is true, i am just saying that the company mentioned is one that was previously mentioned as belonging to Segal. ie, this may just be a moving around of RHSC in order to allow it to operate, instead of a 3rd party taking it over.

[Guest Tim Norman]

I know who's bought it. I got a courtesy call on Saturday.

 

However, I, like the rest of you will have to wait till Monday for full and further particulars.

[Guest hypermick]

Frankly I couldn't care less who's bought it, unless you have a vested interest in it , its immaterial. I just hope it can continue to trade so that those, particularly, who are short of collection day parts can obtain them .

 

As for the cars themselves,. its an interesting project but thats all it is. When mine is finished I'll use it and enjoy it, and remain a participant of the forum for the sake of helping others where I can, but I wont be buying another one, though I might well buy a similar kit from another manufacturer.

One where the space bar doesnt get stuck down

Frankly I couldn't care less who's bought it,

well some of us do care and would hate it to fold just because it was sold to someone who just wanted the site. Unlike you who is just a hanger on using sites without being a member.

but I wont be buying another one

Good I for one wont miss you.

[Guest Bazwaz]

All the best to Ian Richard and look forward to a brighter future for Robin Hoods and their owners.

Just need to get the Lightweight problems sorted and all will be rosey once more.

If the Westfield rumour is correct then the next step could be the Hood based on the MX 5 donor.

Good luck Ian and Richard, hopefully you can get back to buisness ASAP,
