I didn't think the jigs were for sale?
We've spent the day at ZCARS loading up the van with our auction lots and everything was going except for the jigs and designs / intellectual property elements owned by ZCARS ltd and not ZCARS Performance Engineering Ltd
Would be interested to know if this jig was supposed to have been removed to be honest.
"Large Quantity of Pre-Fabricated Seamless & Seamed Tubing - Jigs & Other Components to Manufacture Z Cars" Clicky
Looks like a load of jigs to me.

I stand corrected! It certainly was part of the lots auctioned. Thank you Tuppers!
But you wouldn't legally be able to create and then sell kits made with this from my understanding that the rights to do so remain with ZCARS Ltd.
I think the ebay link implies this but I'm not really sure what would stop the new owner doing so?

I don't see the main jig used by Zcars to build the frames....

True, it allows part of the kit to be created. The main jigs are still owned by ZCARS Ltd as well as the rights to produce any of their kits in whole or part.

I was there there when everyone was there emptying the place.. It was a very depressing sight after it has been such an exiting place to just visit over the years.
The impression I got was that Chris has has finally decided to retire and doesn't trust/want anyone else to carry the business on. All/some of the jigs, building contents have been sold along with the building itself. The motorcross track out the back of zcars has also vanished, not sure how long ago that went?
To be honest I really don't blame him, I think any one of us in his position would also want to retire! I just think a few of us would have gone about it in a slightly different way.
Shame really as there was such a pool of talented engineers. On the up side we do now have a few of these skilled guys setting up on their own.
