Autocar seem to think Lotus have gone bust Any further info?

Though it does say:

An announcement from the HM Courts & Tribunals Service has revealed that Group Lotus PLC is being wound up

Wishful thinking but doesn't this just mean the HM Revenue and Customs (Or perhaps a supplier) have issued a Winding Up Order, as they often do against firms with unpaid tax liabilities (Or other unpaid debts)? It's not quite the end and is in some respects just a scary sounding formality.

And now the article has been edited

Doesn't sound like they're going anywhere (yet) tbh.

It didn't say that when I posted this thread (hence my comments).

You can tell what it said before by looking at the text in the original link - it now re-directs to a new link.

Haha, yes. The reason it changed is that we updated it to reflect newly available information.

Not because you realised a winding up order doesn't mean liquidation?

It was registered in March, it could have been bought in Feb.

It'll be based on registrations though, not surprising they didn't sell many in Feb as most people wait for the new plate.
