Bookatrack to become Ginetta dealership
Discussion
It seems the Caterham relationship with Bookatrack is coming to an end.
Ginetta Cars Ltd Acquire BaT
BookaTrack.com Ltd are delighted to announce the acquisition by Ginetta Cars Ltd at the end of the year.
The business will continue in the same format, offering an improved track day calendar and car storage services from our facility at Donington Park. The workshop will continue to service and repair Caterhams, but the showroom will be rebranded to retail Ginetta sportscars.
Sarah Leroux maintains a shareholding and will continue in her role as Managing Director. "Having spent 20 years building this business to where it is now, it makes me very proud that a company of the size and stature of Ginetta Cars Ltd would see the benefit in having BaT as its shop-front and with the additional resources available from such a well established and successful group we will be able to make significant improvements at BaT very quickly."
Lawrence Tomlinson (owner of Ginetta Cars Ltd and LNT Group Ltd) said "We're delighted to support Sarah and BaT in the next chapter of their success. BaT have an impressive customer base and also a strong reputation in the sportscar market for creating an exciting experience. We look forward to supporting Sarah in improving this further for all of BaT's customers. It's our pleasure to welcome BaT into the Ginetta family."
Doesn’t seem that long age we were all at the opening with all the Caterham Guys.

BaT’s last filed accounts (year to 31.12.17) submitted to Companies House at the end of September, shows they had more liabilities than assets and therefore a negative balance sheet. And the position had worsened from the 2016 accounts.
May well be totally irrelevant and unconnected to this news, but a bit of a surprise nonetheless.

Interesting. I wonder what their accounts showed before they took on the dealership and the larger, shinier premises at Donington Park. That showroom is a big overhead.May well be totally irrelevant and unconnected to this news, but a bit of a surprise nonetheless.
Ginetta don't make road cars at the moment so I wonder why they want a dealership facility? Unless they are going back in to the road car market?
Seeing as Ginetta own Blyton Park, I wonder why they want a facility at DP? Unless they are going to move......
