Drove past Westover Sports cars on Monday. The site is all boarded up. Have they relocated or given up ? There is still a rather sad Lotus flag at half mast.

I seem to remember reading an article on their relocation a while ago. Or was that someone else? Perhaps a search of the PH news is in order.

It was closed down ten days ago when I went past and the boards went up during last week.

I thought I'd missed some important PH or Sprint news, but if all-seeing-all-powerful-Ted knows nothing

I rang them about a Griff about 5 weeks ago and was told they were moving, but can't remember where.

Yup - moved to new premises in Bournemouth a while back - wanted to keep it all under one roof cos they were running out of space. Have recently got Lotus under their belts.

The showroom looks fabulous, and the staff are still just as helpful. They've managed to put far more stock out, and it looks good. They were still servicing cars until the day they shut the doors! We had to go and pick Sparkles up from his service, and it was the last car left on the forecourt - now that was a sad sight....
