. . .but is it?
 
Having arrived doon sooth and having been for a wander through the West Cross Centre (looking at portable hard drives is my excuse), I popped round the corner to see what was happening at No. 19 Shield Drive. After all, those "It's all over" seemed unequivocal.

Housework, is the answer, but the most striking thing to my eye, in addition to the commodious service centre being packed, was the sheer variety of ages of Bristol there and the extremely high level of restoration of the older cars (mainly early V8s). Only one well-used specimen caught my eye.

If business is this good (with memories of Gunnersbury & Chiswick, it looked to the casual eye to be superior to that of many a decade), surely someone will come forward with the necessary finance to run it?

The question in my mind at the moment - is it safe to order parts from them, which of course would be paid for before dispatch?

and what happens if the wrong parts are sent?

what legal responsibilities to customers does a company in administration have in the UK?

Talked to Brian this morning -- it's cash only for parts until the ownership is confirmed.

I wonder if the President of the BOC knows about BCL being in administration ?

I wonder what he would say if he knew ?

Who knows !!

Of course, the Presidency is an honorary post...he and H have just finished driving their 405 up along the Chilean coast, and now his car is being shipped to the Antipodes,via Hong Kong...

No indication yet he's aware of the situation in his weekly/daily reports.
