It's Abarth, not Arbarth - I don't belieeeeeeeeeeve it.

Very sad what happened there. Will stay in many people's memories for a while. The owner did not come across well when I called up on a 993 RS he was selling. I've seen some of his unsolicited emails too. Awful. Nothing really on the auction site of note just junk. Auction goes to show all you really have in any business is your reputation. Without this you're dead. Go above and beyond the ordinary OPC or Bentley sales service and you could have something very special in the current market as a fossil fuel car dealer. They're going to become like art dealers the good ones. Be Sothebys lads not Malton

Apparently £6M has disappeared, absolutely shocking behaviour.

Interesting list of creditors, some very close to home...

Wasn't there a fairly prolific poster here who was one of the "management team"? Don't think I've seen him post for a couple of years, mind.

Yup. The reason PH apparently don’t allow these threads is because of the liability....apparently 911 Uk have amazing legal advisors. Or maybe. PH cares more about the advertising than providing a service to the forum contributors...without whom PH wouldn’t exist.

911uk is a special forum that will stand up for people unlike others. I'm sure this scandal and others could have been exposed earlier without the catastrophic financial damage that some now have to live with if people had been allowed to speak out.
