Just had an email to say they are closing down this weekend - has been open 8 years but apparently never made money - I guess the Diecast Legends side of things kept them going

Are these the same people as 'St Martins Accessories' who were going since the late '60s ?

Is the Guildford premises still open?

I'm not surprised, looked at their website several times but always thought the prices were very high. I could always find the same model elsewhere and much cheaper.

I stick my head in there whenever I'm passing by, which is quite often, but have never bought anything and feel a bit guilty about that. But enthusiast/collectors know what they want, and buy it online, and casual browsers – the obvious market thereabouts – don't want to be lugging a big box of model car around.
