    we have a Lunar and I am on a couple of the Facebook owners groups and this is a rumour that has been doing the rounds there for a few months. I wouldn’t be surprised and apparently the new company haven’t been manufacturing or has any staff working for quite some time. Our van is just over 3 years old and we did have a few problems sorted under warranty in the first couple of years. It’s just been serviced and given a clean bill of health so fingers crossed it stays that way

    Perhaps one ought to ask 'how long before the bad news hits the register of companies:' ?  1 Week, 1month or 1/2 a year?

    An official notice of insolvency would appear in the press and business gazettes in 2-3 weeks of an official order being made and thus would be on the internet.

    If the staff are furloughed and not being paid, sounds like the owner is making a bob or two out of the Government coffers prior to doing a runner

    When I checked Companies House last year it only showed one director Nicholas Marks who is down as a Chartered Accountant, so you have to wonder, plus there has been no end of newspaper articles (one being in a Sunday one) regarding the same said person and the companies he has had in the past.  The registered office address has been changed twice.  

    We bought a new Lunar the month they went under and needed several repairs from the start, thankfully the Dealer has done some.  We have now accepted that we now have a van with NO warranty.
