To be honest I never believed the production figures they quoted for the last 30 years of 2 or 3 cars a week - more like 2 or 3 per month - but I thought that they had received enough funding for years to come. However, the economic turndown and the associated costs with producing the Fighter (didn't someone say £30m!?) must have hit hard and the company was probably in strife long before Tony Crook decided to look for investors - such is Bristol that this obviously wouldn't have been public knowledge to customers and enthusiasts. Hopefully the administrators won't take too much of a hard nosed view of things as they sort through the inevitably eccentric workings of the production process.
