Just reading the local weekly paper, I find that Wymondham based Zenos Cars have gone into administration. http://www.zenoscars.com
Started, I believe, but ex Lotus people, the stuff I've seen driving around here is stunning, and got very good reviews by the press. Such a niche market, so always a risk. They received £240k funding from the local LEP 2 years ago- whoops!

Perhaps I had better visit Attleborough next time I'm in Norfolk...
There are so many good classic events round here I really to find myself something so I can get involved. The 205 Rallye might be good; the GTi & Convertible (actually watching one of those 'oop north on eBay) have achieved classic status but not the ordinary versions - I think there are simply too many of them still in daily use, still hold quite good values too. There's even a high-top 205 van knocking around here.
Speaking of convertibles, there's a very tidy Metro Convertible in the area - not something you see every day!
Yes, a friend in Wymondham emailed me the Zenos story from the EDP yesterday. Don't think I knew anybody involved.
