#1 WARNING - ROGUE COMPANY!!!

Post by 550pete » Thu Aug 21, 2014 6:21 pm

I need to write to warn all members of a rogue restorer, who claims to be an E-Type expert, who has conned me out of a large sum of money, not completed any of the work I paid him for, and in fact has actually damaged my bodyshell. He is a highly plausible and charming chap but is a compulsive liar and technical incompetent!

The company was called Overdrive Classic Cars Ltd and was based in Mursley near Milton Keynes. The original company appears to have now closed down and moved from its original premises. I have discovered from Companies House that it has given notice of compulsory striking off action due to the companies failure to file its annual accounts and company return. BUT BEWARE - the owner has now set up a NEW company in the Milton Keynes area.

Due to me publicising my experience online, I have been contacted by two other victims of his activities, and we are convinced there MUST be others out there, please contact me if you have had unhappy dealings with any of these companies. I will not rest until I received full recompense from this despicable character, and I will continue to track him and any future phoenix companies he sets up, and will publicise them, to ensure no other trusting victims have their valuable cars damaged by his technical incompetence, or are financially conned by him. If you think you may be affected please PM me for more details.

Fortunately, I have since found a first class reputable body restoration company who are making sterling progress with my Series 3 OTS bodyshell (albeit at a considerably higher cost than originally budgeted for) which is in the process of being totally rebuilt to full concourse standard.

Peter

I understand your frustration and anger but I am going to have to edit your post or it could result in the Forum being shut down. I suggest people PM you if they want names and addresses.

Hi David,

The last thing I want is to place the forum into disrepute or worse, so I fully understand.

I just do not want any member to be a victim of this bugger!

If interested parties want more information they are very welcome to contact me.

Regards,

OK. I have edited your post and happy to leave the name of the now dissolved company in there. Thought it best to remove the person's name and the name of his new company which anyone who is interested can get by sending you a PM or email.
