As you say, if the stories are true (and there are many out there - no smoke without fire?) then it is indeed good riddance. Companies like this just give the whole classic car sector a bad name. Let's hope that, this time, they're not allowed to simply reappear with a clean sheet under a (slightly) different name.

They may not necessarily have completely disappeared as the company that went under administration was described as "a subsidiary".
