Knowing the people behind the project, it is not surprising.

Looks like the Escort will be gone forever!!
Spec-r has a winding up notice on companies house and from what I hear is shutting at the end of the month!!
Hope no one has anything on order with them!!
Reel shame if it is true as I was really looking forward to seeing this all done in the flesh but I know how much money these things cost to restore and the current economic situation for small businesses like spec-R
If anyone knows more about the state on the car, please up date us on here??
I haven't been on here in ages due to various reasons and was expecting to see some progress but now fear the worse!!

Am assuming it is not the property of the company but the families? Therefore should not be classed as one of the companies assets. Hopefully it can be removed and given a safe haven until funds are found.

Well let's hope so!! Think problems will arise as the title suggests Spec-R found it and I would imagine it is Spec-R's money that has been put into it ifany work has progressed further.
It a shame that we have not had any updates in ages and I fear the fact that there is no pictures to show the state of the restoration so far only means one thing!!

This is the 3rd time Companies House has issued a strike-off notice in the last 2 years; the current one has been temporarily suspended awaiting annual statements.

Looks like he hasn't posted any accounts for a long time!
Fingers crossed it all gets sorted out quickly.
Let's hope the rumours of him closing down at the end of November are not true.
I for one would love to see the Escort back to its former glory.

Seems like this one has flown the coop since the attempt to boost it's value a few years back. A shame as it was an interesting car in it's time and certainly worthy of the interest in it's rebuild. Like MikeMcC, I would also like to see it completed.
