Overfinch bust

[adriano_8]

That's right, the 'classy' modifiers of Range Rovers have gone bust.

It goes to show that despite having an army of Premier League footballers behind you, it doesn't mean you can keep your company going.

God dam economy - I expect they'll be re-bought, seems strange to think of the 4x4 world without them!

Doesn't surprise me tbh.

It's a shame because there's something about having OVERFINCH on the bonnet instead of RANGE ROVER which I quite like. Certainly better than many of the RR tuners

Has anyone actually read the article?

'One off non trading costs' sounds to me like the company has been naughty and been fined for something.

That's a good observation - I wonder if they've been up to something.

All they really do is cosmetically adjust cars so I'm not sure how naughty they can be.

I reckon they've bought a load of stock during the worst of the recession and been screwed as a result:

Customer: "I'd like a Range Rover"
Dealer: "How about a Range Rover Sport too. These 22s would look great on it"

Stock would be a 'trading cost'

They haven't done anything truely crazy/awesome since the Corvette engined RR Classic days IMO, it's a shame, but hardly unexpected

Look at Gemballa, all they do is make fast cars faster and they were into very naughty stuff!

Someone should ring Afzal Kahn maybe he wants to buy them LOL.

They'll find a buyer surely

The company is still profitable, its just the owners ran out of money after incurring those costs

Wonder what they were.

And a bit further back Vic Lee who used to run BMWs and later Peugeots in the BTCC was caught smuggling cocaine, twice.

OVerfinch have been dodgy since the get go. I remember them being hauled up before for using stolen engines! Cowboys tbh
