Museum Pieces As the assorted IVTs purr to a halt for the last time and Adam '20p' Robson with his fellow directors box up the debris from Aston Way, it is to be hoped that still working prototype versions will be preserved for future generations.There are few better places for this than the Deutches Museum, Munich, which specialises in exhibits from science and technology:www.deutsches-museum.de/en/The Road Transport section would seem appropriate, under 'early 20th C powertrain curiosities.'Hopefully the administrators will run to the cost of postage.
Re: Administrators and Suspension from T... That would be Hey Jude .... I think.
Re: Administrators and Suspension from T... @indeed12,Thank you for your comment. Certainly not the case, but this should have turned out better. It remains to be seen if there is any value residing in the IP.'Take a good idea, and make a complete hash of it', to the tune of the Beatles song.
Re: Best wishes to Torotrak employees OBI see you had TRK as a Hold even up to August, but the penny has dropped at last !Apart from the financial loss incurred by many shareholders, I get the impression that some have wasted a significant proportion of their lives avidly following TRK.N
Re: Administrators and Suspension from Tradi... Contender for the best post on this board in 20 years, Meneage ...... near perfect.
Re: Administrators and Suspension from T... If Hilton et al lose their claim, is there any hope the remnants might value more than ordinary liabilities and leave some cash for shareholders?(Looks to sky and seeks divine intervention ...)
Re: So that will be it then OK Walter, it's time to climb out of your bunker and put down your binoculars.Your days of camouflage and surveillance are over.StonyB~
Best wishes to Torotrak employees Bad, sad days. I am licking my deep wounds, having been a very bad investor.Best wishes to Torotrak employees.OB
Re: Administrators and Suspension from Tradi... This must be in contention as the least productive, most expensive and longest pi55-take in history.

Torotrak plc ("Torotrak" or the "Company" Appointment of Administrators Suspension from Trading Further to the announcement on 5 December 2017, it is with regret that the Company confirms that the Board of the Company has resolved that Daniel Smith and Clare Boardman of Deloitte LLP will be appointed as joint administrators of Torotrak plc as soon as practicable As a result, the Company has requested that listing on the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA and trading of Torotrak shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market be suspended from 7:30 a.m. on 7 December 2017. A further announcement will be made in due course.
So that will be it then Clearly it's dead. Just a matter of time until it lays down.
Going Concern It their 2017 report in the Annual Accounts , Tototrak's auditors said that they doubted they could confirm the company had 'going concern' status. What is it that investors did not understand?
Re: RNS 3rd Financial Update You were never allowed to criticise this company, or say anything against them if you did the wrath of the Toro trekkies came down upon you and you were cursed for life...lol....I'm sorry if good people have lost money,but don't let it be said you weren't warned.....there was some right t 055 ers running this company.
Re: RNS 3rd Financial Update AT, Don't give up investing in the stock market. If you follow simple rules, you will not go far wrong. Rules1) Company directors are bound to put a favourable light on things, so take what they say with a pinch of salt. Just because Institutional investors are buying the shares it does not mean it is a good bet.(2) Read the accounts, and checka) Does the company generate both profit and cash?(b) is cash generated from operating activities greater than net profit?(c) Has the company got a net cash surplus or a small amount of debt?If the answer to all three questions is 'yes' then consider investing; a single 'no' should put you off. In their 2016 accounts Torotrak said they had issued a pile of shares at 10p per share and the largest shareholders were: Aviva investing 63.5m, Henderson Global Investing 40.2m, Barclays Wealth 20.3m and Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management 18.5m.On 27 April 2017 I wrote on this BB that as Tototrak was financially worthless and the shares were trading at 0.88p per share, this price was something as a bargain. Today they trade at 0.075p per share, less than one-tenth of the bargain. I am afraid the obvious has been known for some time.
