Bauer Millett closing down
Discussion
That's what I thought, I should imagine they will turn up at a Manheim or BCA specialist auction.
Have BM gone bust or have they just closed the doors ?

If you are talking about the Corvettes, it is doubtful that they have reverted back to Corvette Europe under the GM stocking facility. Are probably vested with the Receiver. Auction material??
Stratstone fire sale mk2?As a former technician at Bauer Millett (up until August last year) I can honestly say I had an absolute blast for nearly 5 years, and had thing not been looking insecure for a while I would probably still been there! It's very sad what has happened and there may not be anything like it again, and working on some of the stuff we did was an experience I personally won't forget. Good news is pretty much everyone I'm in contact with has found new jobs

I think I have their demonstrator, a yellow C7 ? Have BM gone bust or have they just closed the doors ?

Stratstone fire sale mk2?Purchase records etc?
I guess I have no hope, but would anyone else have taken on the Bauer Millett sales and service records? My 2007 Corvette Z06 was supplied by them as U.S. Import with light conversion by them to euro spec. I have a stamped service book, but little else in the way of history and it would be good to compile some history.
Any thoughts??

You should try Ian Allan Motors with the vin.
I bought one of the Man Utd 2013 Grand Sports. It had no stamps and nothing was found in GM computer records about servicing. It was two years old with 2,000 miles on it.
GM attempted to invalidate the warranty until I pointed out to them that they had owned the car and if they were saying it wasn't serviced, then that was their decision not to look after the car. From enquiries I made with ex BM staff, they were serviced but I guess the records weren't updated as it was an unusual arrangement with GM, unlike a normal customer relationship.
They eventually said they wouldn't cover the engine internals but I couldn't be bothered to argue until something happened which was unlikely (and didn't). I did get the harmonic balancer replaced under warranty, but unfortunately had to use a GM replacement.

Has it had (are you aware of?) the headlights recall work done on it? Ian Allan can advise/have been doing it for C6 owners since the start of last year.

The headlight/fusebox wiring recall wasn't issued to newer cars. I think it was 2005 to 2007 only, although Ian Allan was doing the work to later cars if requested by the owner to do so.
I had my 2005 done in May 2015 by Ian Allan who also did the same work on my friends 2008 car at the same time although it wasn't subject to the recall.
