    Is Autofficina still running? I have heard that they are folding up, can anyone shed any light on this?

    They did a friend's MOT a couple of weeks ago and seemed very busy - why don't you call them and ask ?

    I'm also not sure that a thread such as this is very helpful: either you trust and believe whoever told you or you do not - too much 'news' these days is planted and/or based on supposition (at best)

    That does look like a bit more than just a rumour.

    On the contrary: without knowing the result of the hearing it reads like a tactic

    They are very much up and running. Perhaps if you read up on the full facts before posting- i.e Companies House.

    Doesn't look very good there either does it! Voluntary liquidation.

    I spoke to Autofficina yesterday to clarify the situation. They told me that the issue with the winding up petition linked to above was resolved and related to a car they sold on behalf of the now bankrupt chap mentioned in the petition (you may read what you will into him having an alias given on the petition). They say the car was sold on his behalf some five years ago and the monies paid in full to the account he specified. The issue apparently arose recently in relation to his bankruptcy and that he had specified the sale proceeds go to an account that they shouldn't have gone to (that's the short version). The company referred to is not one used (hence why it was previously wound up). Their actual company is Racing Technologies Ltd trading as Autofficina. I was given the historical explanation for the different companies (also Autofficina Sales Ltd) but I can't be bothered to type it out here.

    Thank you jtremlett for that constructive responce :)
    I doubt very much that Autofficina would have given me a detailed and comprehensive answer had i rang them out of the blue ( as suggested).
    This is what forums are about, chatting. :)
    Good to get to the bottom of what i was told and have been reading on line.

    I'm a customer - their collective passion and long term commitment to the brand is pervasive once you step a foot on the compound.
