You know, anyone should just pick up the phone if you have any questions, RR is still as approachable as ever and I still own the brand.
The D585 coil thing got really grubby with ‘people’ constantly trying their luck at shafting us over the lifetime warranty - rarely the original purchaser and rarely for any fault of the actual kits. There’s a list as long as my arm of ways that happened and in the end I opted to discontinue the kits.
Just for clarity however, I’ve no intention of leaving any genuine customer in the lurch. An original purchaser with a genuinely faulty kit can return them to us for testing and repair under the lifetime warranty.
Anyone who has met me and knows me will not be surprised to hear this.
With regards to the company structure.
Rotary Revs ltd - the original ltd company dissolved years and years ago as part of a restructure
RotaryRevs Store ltd - the ltd company that we traded as for most of the time Under the RR brand. This company stopped handing out invoices last year but remained ‘trading’ until it’s year end accounts were due. Once they have been filed the company will be dissolved in favour of our MAP brand - the reason for the swap is ‘Rotary’ is pretty specific and the plans for the buisness is to continue growth beyond that market.
The MAP ltd companies there are 2 of. Why?
The first was registered as a place holder back in 15 or 16 when I first envisaged the brand. After 2 years of inactivity though the company was struck off ironically just as I decided that was the company we would keep for the umbrella for all of our brands including RR.
So we formed another MAP ltd company which has just finished its first years trading and is days away from filing its first set of accounts. Which will finally finalise the whole affair and get some normality back in place in a form that will never need tampering with again - Motorsport and Performance works for any automotive market sector and that’s the whole point.
With regards to people’s concerns over the structural integrity of the firm. We are growing at an exponential rate not seen at any time whilst serving the Rotary community exclusively. This growth is allowing us to reinvest hard into our facilities allowing us to offer a better more complete service to all of our customers.
MAP was originally meant to be a stop gap to help us stay in the game in the lul between the RX8 and whatever RX is to follow. As it happened we’ve been fortunate enough to find the new Mustang and establish ourselves firmly in that market meaning there’s now no concerns at all that we will be able to continue to offer the same service that we always have to the RX community - if it wants it.
As I say, anyone who has any concerns is more than welcome to contact us and I’d be pleased to natter about it all and talk about the exciting things that we are getting upto these days.
And as I say, any original purchaser who has any issues with any of the now discontinued RR D585’s should send them to us for testing and repair. We had run out of coils and leads but have put a batch of new coils on the shelf so that we have them in the event any genuine warranty claims crop up.
I’ll also sit down with the office tomorrow and get some clarity in place with regards to this so that we can avoid anymore incorrect and misleading emails in future
All the best everyone.
