As far as I understand here in the UK the Chinese have bought the company and the parts are still going to be produced as current :Germany, Spain, Poland, Italy. Some parts for engine conversions are already made in China such as forged pistons and Rods.

If they're made anything like the scan-tech door stops, they'll explode as soon as you step on the gas. :mrgreen:
