Default Roman Kitcars gone missing?

I am interested in a Cobra 289 or AC Ace replica and Roman Kitcars had a 289 over a chassis using BMW 3-series running gear, which is just what I am looking for.
However the manufacturers listing on this website appears to be out of date or Roman have closed down. The website says "entry not authorised" and the listed phone number (Vodafone) just diverts to a message service and messages are not returned.
I gather the body was originally that of KD Cars and I suppose Roman bought the moulds.
Can anyone put me in touch with Roman or it's proprietor. Phone, fax or e-mail will do. Even if It is no longer trading, the moulds/jigs must be somewhere.

Hi PistonBroke,
I don’t think it’s a matter of their having “gone missing” . They were never there in first place .
We published their press release about 2 years ago; and never heard from them again . My guess is that they were just feeling the market.

Den .

Hi PistonBroke,
You’re probably right!
Old kit car moulds never die – they just change their name .

Den.
