SAVED - LADA PARTS UK!

[explosive-cabbage]

Good News!

 

Following various discussions, a buyer has been found for the Lada Parts business!

 

This should take place at the end of August with no discernible interruption in service.

The website, phone number and email will all remain the same.

 

There will be a change of company name however this is just to keep things neat and tidy.

 

Opening hours will be confirmed nearer the time but are likely to change to a more 'normal' pattern.

 

I trust that you will continue to support the new owners who are determined

to keep the spares available for the foreseeable future.

 

 

 

 

It seems that skipping back in time has saved Lada Parts UK!

 

If only this had happened to FSO too. But I am afraid that if this had happened we would skip back to Febuary 2011 when the last remnants of the FSO company dissipated into abyss.

Would it be worth loosing 2 and a half years of chod spotting to save a manufacturer?? Replies below please.

 

Anyway. This news is good news, and exactly what all that dusty stock sitting on shelves in Hampshire needed.

 

May I also add, I posted a almost exact copy of my ''PLEASE RESCUE LADA'' post onto the Lada Parts UK forum - and got a total of only 2 replies - all suggesting asking Steve Caz of FSO fame to save the business. The response in THIS parish was enough to make us all proud - I think we got to 2 pages of posts before it ran out of steam and we hit the timewarp.

 

So this is just a thank you for reading and caring - you guys really understand why we need little businesses like this to survive.

 

Regards, Will

I think you'll find that the FSO boys are doing a decent job of recreating an FSO parts service. They've got an HQ and everything.

Yeh, Steve is sending me a new gasket for my* Polonez today

 

I don't think they had enough space for the Lada stock too though - there is somthing like £17k of parts at trade price!

 

Good work to whoever took the challenge on though!

[dollywobbler]

Aye. It's great news.
