The Heritage Trust and Bristol cars in administration
Just to update members; the HT has formally expressed a very serious interest to the Administrators in acquiring any Bristol Cars Heritage material that becomes available, should the Administrators not receive a suitable bid today for the whole business. I have signed a Non Disclosure Agreement which means I absolutely cannot disclose any commercially relevant info I may have after looking around the factory with the Administrator's Agent's permission, but I can say I have seen priceless historic material that must be preserved.
Let us hope that the Company can get back on an even keel as soon as possible, without further disruption, but if not we will do our utmost to keep the heritage items safe, should assets be disposed of or should the next owner not wish to keep the historic items. I have also alerted the Curator of the Bristol Industrial Museum who has also expressed an interest.
The Club already kindly supports the HT to the tune of £5 per member per year. We may need to raise a significant sum at short notice so this is to alert you all to prepare to break open your piggy banks.
Standing by
Yours in Bristol
Stefan
