    I have one for sale if this is your area of expertise, which it is undoubtedly is.
  • I've ran out of driveway space and a recent MOT failure is going to keep me busy over winter.

    Selling is easy and you'll get far more than £180 if it's running, probably north of a grand if it's going for export.

    Put it on eBay, you might be pleasantly surprised...

    Same company might end up buying it again and repeating the process 🤣

    @osp with some digging on Companies House website you may get to the bottom of who the people are but given the plethora of company names and ambiguity of addresses (there’s over 50 apartments at 2 Mill Street) I sense you’re not likely to get and redress so time to cut your losses.

    I took the Westfield Motors address to Small Claims and all mail was returned by Royal Mail.  Judgement asked for in their absence.  Agree, have ALMOST given up hope.  The two named garages that i have both still advertise on ebay and Motors sites!  Did not, for one minute, think the garage(s) were non-existent!
    Just to be clear, your claim was presumably against the Westfield Motors legal entity, so that's the one you'd need to pursue for the money, rather than the owner of the bank account you paid into, or other businesses or individuals at the same address.
