A post by Neil, who runs AMS (the Murtaya suppliers) reads-
"Hi everyone,

Some time ago I openly and honestly told all who read P'heads about the fact that we were having a problem with an investor which was causing us some trouble.

Unfortunately a combination of this problem and a less than helpful banking community in the current economic climate mean we have not been able to resolve the issue and as such Adrenaline Motorsport Ltd has been placed into the hands of an insolvency specialist.

I can not begin to describe how heartbroken Tom, Dan and I are at the way the situation has developed but despite trying absolutely everything under the sun it has not been possible to find a viable solution for the Adrenaline Motorsport trading company.

HOWEVER due to the way in which the business was structured the Murtaya project exists as a separate entity and remains fully available through the established UK and International distribution network. Anyone interested in the Murtaya should simply look up their local agent/dealer and contact them direct (http://www.adrenalinemotorsport.co.uk/ams-cars/murtaya/murtaya-distributors).

The network can supply Murtaya in kit form or can work individually with customers on specifying a fully built car which will be constructed by the agent in question.

This support network obviously also goes for all those who have already purchased a Murtaya as knowledge, parts supply and ongoing support also remain fully available through the same dealer network.

This is possible as we were already gearing up to move into a situation in 2010 where the car was only available through the network rather than direct from Adrenaline so all of the pieces were already in place for this change.

As a result of these developments two customer cars which were being factory built at Adrenaline have been subcontracted out to be completed - one at Arden Automotive in Didcot (a Murtaya agent) and one by an ex-Adrenaline technician here in Cornwall. In addition we are personally working with two other customers on the fulfilment of their Murtaya orders in the New Year.

I am all too aware of the rumour mill and the way that incorrect information spreads so rapidly through the internet so to prevent the inevitable Chinese whispers could I request that any and all questions you may all have are directed to me through the following e-mail address;-

enquiries@adrenalinemotorsport.co.uk

Everyone who sends anything through will get a personal reply - although I would ask that you allow up to 48/72 hours or so to get one as I am responding to, and dealing with all of the current issues by myself which means I do have quite a workload right now - hence the email request as I do not have time at present to be on P'Heads as often as usual (like everyone I normally have a click around while having a cup of tea!).

I would like to thank all of our suppliers who have worked hard with us through this period to ensure that our agents and distributors are able to continue offering the Murtaya direct to customers - and for all of the support that the P'Heads community has shown me personally over the last few years. Many members on here have become friends in the real world, some customers, and some both!

The Murtaya is a terrific car of which I am very proud and I look forward to watching it continue being a success through the agent network in the coming years.

I hope that everyone enjoys a fantastic Christmas and New Year.

Kind regards,

Neil."


I presume that AMS didn't actually make the Murtaya bodyshell, and that whoever does make it is now supplying it direct to the agents.

Very sad. Is a great product.

The Murtaya is still available, from various agents, it just Adrenaline that have gone down. I don't know why, maybe they didn't have enouigh sales to support the size of the operation.

It's a great car, but it ain't cheap, I don't know whether the agents will keep the same price structure

sad news about Adrenaline but good luck to those with continuing with the Murtaya.

Had spoken to Neil at a number of shows and was very close to being talked into a test drive!

great car, hope it works out
