Have Vortex gone bust?

Hi

I'm desperate to get my hands on a set of covered headlights for my Phantom, but whilst Chris at Vortex responded to a couple of initial emails, they've gone quiet recently and now aren't replying.

Does anyone know if they've hit problems (or where else I can get some lights)

Regards

John

Vortex are very much in business, there are another two customers chassis in production at the moment, on is destined to be an electrically powered one!!

Hi,

I've got Richard Ólafsson's black Phantom. I'm guessing yours is the one in Practical Performance Car at the moment?

Ah right, it was myself and Rich that sold it to John who you bought it from, did he sell you all the spares I sold him too? he had my old engine, box, brakes, wheels, tyres and all sorts of other bits.

Mine is the one in PPC yeah, next month will be the last article for a while, until it gets to the rollers to be mapped, hopefully sometime mid December.
