The University Motors website announces it
will cease fulltime business on Wednesday, 1st July 1st 2009
after more than 34 years of service to the MG community. John
Twist says in a video clip that "when our Governess promised
in her 2006 State of the State Address that "In five years,
you're going to be blown away by the strength and diversity
of Michigan's transformed economy little did we imagine that
it would be our own business that would be demolished in the
ensuing economic storm." He adds in a video clip that the
business has been in "life support" for a couple of
years and economics mean it has to close.
The website announcement adds that "we
have ceased taking appointments and will use the month of June
to complete the work in the shop. We will continue to receive
bench work. In late October we will have an auction of parts,
tools, and MG memorabilia. Books, DVDs, and technical publications
will be forthcoming."
John Twist signs off saying "all
good things must come to an end. It's been a simply wonderful
run!"
