Does anyone know what state the old factory is in now ? I'd love to visit but I'm based in Reading so Blackpool is a fair old journey for me to make. Are there still old jigs & body's etc lying around outside ?. Last I heard some of the ex employees had gone solo renting bits of it.

I've seen a few pictures of the 'leftovers'. I'm surprised that nobody has helped themselves!

Cheers Paul. That's something I've always thought. Who owns all the spares ? Smolenski ?

Sorry lads, all the buildings have been flattened bar the street fronted ones and everything cleared. There is nowt left just empty ground.
The only thing left is Surface & Design.

I`ve been informed that the site is still owned by Peter Wheeler`s widow and her new husband Karl Oyston, Blackpool football club owner.
Mr. Oyston can be seen sporting the reg TVR 100 on his Rangie.

I have just looked at who put the comment on and it was a good customer of mine that has a 350i from near Manchester and is very happy with what i do for him looking after his pride and joy.
