Really sorry to hear that Vince. Any plans for a sell off like Johnny says? Or any plans to start a new venture?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

That's a real shame. Avonbar was the first place I bought some bits from when I Turboed my Mini way back in 1999.

I bought my first turbo stuff from them way back in 1994 !
Bulkhead box and cylinder head...both worked a treat.

Never good to see a long standing company like that close it's doors. But it really is tough times out there.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
