This looks nasty, no one hurt but some nice cars lost by the look of it.

Just saw this on Facebook - sorry to see it and hope owners and business are covered by insurance.

It looks like two Griffs, a Wedge / Tasmin, a T350 and a Tuscan in the picture.
I wonder what the other 5 cars are.
Gutted for the owners. frown

Very sad, I used to take my old TVR there. Hope they get back up and running again.

I can finally breath, my baby was outside and is fine. I feel terrible for anyone's car that was inside.

A very good mate of mine, a PH'er too, had his T350C in here. He'd just got it back after it was almost written off by someone else, just putting the finishing touches on it and now this. He's gutted, naturally.

I'm not superstitious but that car was clearly destined to die so I'm glad no-one was behind the wheel when it did...

Sad to see I hope that they can return to business quickly, I wonder what the cause was, Anderson Lead?

Fingers crossed the guys at Central are all ok and that they had adequate insurance to cover the costs. Remember Cars are replaceable and as gutted as those who lost cars must be, be thankful no one was killed.

Apparently (I stress apparently) the fire was started due to welding.

Terrible thing to happen to a business and people's P&Js. At least no one was hurt, but I can't imagine how I'd feel if the Griff was in there.

Lets hope they can get back on their feet quickly and that some of the cars in there can be salvaged although with the roof collapsing it doesn't look good. frown
