RSC Motorsport - Trevor
Does anyone remember this debacle ?
Basically, this individual took shedloads of money in deposits for goods which were never ever delivered. I believe that at least one member of this
forum was involved.
Anyway - guess who I was speaking to today at Kames circuit ?...........
None other than the elusive trevor.
I didn't let on that I knew who he was or his history, but it was definitely him - told me he was 'the man' when it came to
locosts.
Anyone still looking to 'discuss' anything with him ?

Yep - I know that, but Trevor took bucket loads of deposits from people far and wide, not just scotland. As I remember it there was at least one
portugese victim of his unrealistic claims and promises.
This man took lots of money from people and just failed to deliver anything in return. I don't know whether or not he was well meaning and naive
or just a good old fashioned rogue.

Surely it would cost more than 5,500 in parts to build one??? Ether incredibly cheap, poor quality, naive or good conman. Maybe all 4! I guess we all
leave deposits often in blind faith. I visitted my suppliers premises before making selection but i bet a lot get cheque book out on the strength of a
show visit.
This is a warning to us all. I hope he got his just deserves.

I ordered one, too.
The guy owes me £2750 and that's not fun!
They continue on production, inclusively they wanted to make on 2007 a formula of their cars.
From Christmas I can't phone Trevor, as the phone is always busy.
Is there anyone from the neighborhoods that knows what happened?
Being in Portugal doesn't help to get info on them...
