Message from Chris Allanson in the Z-cars section of the forum.  Worth taking a look at the thread as it goes into more detail. - 

 

 

 Ok as some of you know I became very busy with a wind monitoring mast business in 2012.

I was so busy I couldn't run Z Cars any more and handed the business over to my partner at the time Simon smith
He had worked with me for a number of years and I felt I could give him the opportunity to further himself and he wanted to take it on.
He started a new company called z cars performance engineering in January 2013 and resigned from the z cars original company.

As some of you know I live on the site and owned the premises Simon became my tenant and in effect rented the buildings jigs moulds website etc from me.

You will be aware that a couple of weeks ago he put z cars performance engineering into liquidation.

This has been a very difficult time for me, I've been aware of problems over the last couple of years and have had to watch as the level of service has fallen short of what I'd expect and used to provide.

I am still very passionate about the Z Cars brand having lived and breathed it for many years nurturing it from the very beginning into what was a good product and brand.
I am in negotiations with several interested parties for the original Z Cars to come back.

I am able to do this because I own all the intellectual property rights to the kits and parts I own all the jigs and tools and therefore it is quite an attractive proposition for someone to take it on and build it back up to where it should be.

My wind mast monitoring business has now quietened down and I have more time on my hands
I've spoken to a number of customers lately and there seems to be a demand for it to continue.

Some of you may remember that Aston Martin went bust not that long ago and look at them now.

I have been frustrated recently because I couldn't sort Z Cars performance out as I wasn't involved.

The fact that it has now closed gas opened up the opportunity for me to get involved again and that's what I'm currently working on.
Please be patient I'm looking to do the best deal for all our old customers and future customers too.
It's not about the money I'm determined that Z Cars reputation is restored and the brand lives on so I shall be picking the best partner possible to work with in the future
I shall know more in three or four weeks time

The doors are locked at Z Cars performance and they are not answering the phone
They are not allowed to trade under the terms of the liquidation
The broadband line has been cut off.

Once I know what's going on I will make a further announcement
