Me neither. Very sad day for the industry.

I think they forgot their core values . They bought my GTM to convert it to an electric vehicle and they were hugely involved in autonomous vehicles. All that costs a fortune. As Mark says the phoenix will rise from the ashes and hopefully the “proper “ car can be saved.

It’s their 40th anniversary year too!

Probably a pre-pac and they will emerge debt free.

Such a shame. But if they run their finances like they build their cars then…

I’m still waiting to hear back about my complaint regarding poor communications. That was over 6 months ago ironically.

Not sure I've ever heard anyone with a good word to say about their customer service. The kit business is small, so there will always be issues with stock levels & supply, but Westfield did seem particularly bad, but I've never had one & never had to buy anything from them, so it's all hearsay.

Westfield Autonomous Vehicles Ltd It had accumulated losses of over £300,000 to the end of 2021 whilst owing other people £1,000,000, disaster city

Sympathies go to the employees and suppliers. It's not easy to imagine anyone jumping in and trying to take it forward as a viable business in this environment.
