I would expect Westfield as the FW400 front end was near identical to the SR2

Sometimes what happens is when someone buys a kit they are still owed bits or there are problems with some of the parts, then the new owners
don't feel obliged to take over those 'liabilities'.
People who bought a Luego from the previous owners will know what I mean.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

... the very notion of Westfield suing someone for copying their products brings a wry smile to my face!
I mean, who else has a kit-car product know as the 'Pre-Lit' model!

Roadrunnerracing
Hi,
Just to let people know about Roadrunnerracing, yes it has been sold to a bloke from Hull (nearer Hull than Rotherham anyway), the company should be
up and running again in a few weeks, sorry the phone is not being answered it cannot be put on a divert either because it was linked to another
company. I run another business so unless we are moving items no one will be at the current address.
It has not gone bust the current owner has decided to sell the business. It is not being sued by anyone or another kitcar manufacturer. As soon as I
have a new phone number I will add it to the website, as well as the new address.
From today I have access to the emails so if anyone requires further information just send an email to the website. I will check it daily.
Regards Mike

Nice to see the company is still up and running, its a great bit of kit, it would have been a shame for it to go to the wall.
Good luck with the company for the future Mike

Roadrunnrracing a new owner
Thanks for the kind words, I agree it is a great kit. My company was started in 1988 so can give roadrunnerracing a lot of support with further
development and financial backing. Steve, Dave and Kevin have all done a great job and we will continue the very high standards they have set.
