Astro_Al Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Shall we have a whip-round? Group buy anyone?! I suppose there is always the risk that the new owners start concentrating on Toyotas and stuff... Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 That would explain why they have been impossible to contact recently! Even Outback Import seem to have gone on walkabout! Any ideas why they are selling up? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 £416,000 + stock £?? Ali I think we could do that If I live in the work shops. But no toys or house would do me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJL Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 £416,000 + stock £?? So is the building rented or owned? Capital Equipment Owned or rented? How many Staff? What ages/ Experience are the staff? Any big contracts? Military Etc. Patents? Ownership?? Turnover? Profit? I Suggest 2X Turnover with stock included and a 18-24 month Lockin/Earnout for MAL So who's got the cash then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you want to Plus, its probably the best excuse any one could have to build a new truck: you'll need something to test the products and it's good advertising.

Yeah, Mal is a bit long in the tooth these days, and is probably looking forward to some relaxation/4x4ing (was working too hard so never had time) in his old age. As it says in the ad "genuine retirement sale". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I spoke to Mal today (whilst adding significantly to his retirement fund ) and he's off on holidays Wednesday for about a month. Best pick up the phone now if you have any last minute rush orders...portals, rear steer etc etc. It's only money Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
