Walker Singleton, acting for the administrators, is bringing to the market all the business’s assets ranging from the stock of retail cars, through, to parts for classic and modern performance cars, to workshop/showroom equipment and Porsche memorabilia.
Also coming to market are the company’s freehold car showroom and secure yard together with a car maintenance and repair workshop, both located on the York Road Industrial Estate.

“I don’t think the company realised how extensive its stock of spares and parts was or the level of interest in the memorabilia they have accrued over the years, most of which relates to Porsche.”
