Chim moulds? I thought these were Powers property. Someone should definately be salvaging these if its true.
Main concern for me are the 2 Griff moulds!!!!!!

TBH they were most likely usless as alot of the old moulds were damaged beyond repair by the ravages of working life, or being stored in an unsympathetic manner over the years.

They will almost certainly have dup's elsewhere so their function will not have been lost.

The factory really was full of literally shed loads of old sh!t3, no use to anyone, personally I'm glad someone is rationalising the mountian of utter utter cr@p, as the cost of storage alone would be Odysseusian burden for any new company trying to find its feet.

The moulds only had a limited life before they needed replacing, these hopefully will be just scrap ones...

I was told there were only ever 2 moulds to do the whole Griff production so over 10 years and approx 2,500 shells that's impressive. Just didn't want future bodywork replacement to become an issue for us owners. Even if they are not bad we should salvage them.
