Be aware the MiniSpeed are in the process of closing down.

 

if you have work going on there or cars there get in contact with them.

Just seen this, shame as in the past they have been good. Its certainly been in the last year or so where things have gone wrong for them. Hopefully anybody who has outstanding parts, work etc will get everything done/sent etc. O_O  O_O

Is this a sign for the future in the mini parts suppliers or an isolated and unfortunate incident

I think more to do with the company than the mini scene part suppliers.

Their engine guy is starting up on his own so you will still be able to get one of "their" engines.


And where did the info come from. Their engine guy and others social media places.

I'm not surprised. Those who run it have shown little proper interest in it the past 3 or 4 years.

 

During that time, they didn't do the spares supply industry any favours.

A real shame, they were extremely generous when Bens car was flooded a few years ago.

Shame to see. I used them just as much and were always very helpful with my enquiries.

Such a shame.

 

Dont forget people will be loosing jobs and the mini community has lost another store/service in the area they are situated.

 

They were extremely generous with donations for an event I run every year providing hundreds of pounds worth of mini parts and support.

 

I wish anyone involved at Minispeed, all the best in the future.

A reputation can take decades to create but can be destroyed in an instant.

Shame
