fredrico Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) From what ive read in the mini thread prawn/tuppers is still waiting on the engine, and until that arrives it cant be finished Hi everybody, once the engine has been delivered ???!!!!??? I will try to report on everything that has gone on. I would say that, parts were removed from it, I understand that these have now been replaced and it is ready for delivery. I await news of its delivery. As I said, once it has been delivered I will explain all. This has been a heartbreaking time but my priority now is to get Oli's dream completed and hope that everyone will try to respect his memory!!! Thanks Guys Nick, Phil and Matt - thank you from my heart Carol Edited June 9, 2008 by ocirderf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Mum Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 how's things going chaps??I would like to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for updates. I will now explain why we have had to wait so long. Unfortunately the engine we collected from Morspeed does not match the specification of the engine that Oli purchased. Many discrepancies have been found and as Simon from Morspeed has not given any explanation for these apparent discrepancies and has not answered my request for a full refund, I have now been forced to take court proceedings.The engine we collected cannot be used in Oli's mini and has in fact been considered unsafe.Work is however continuing on the mini, we just do not have an engine!!!!!There will be some photos posted very soon of work to date on his mini build thread. We are hoping to transport the mini for all to see to Castle Coombe on 27th September (minus an engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Mum Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi everyone,I am now pleased to be able to report that a decision has been made in the Courts. A County Court judgment now stands against Simon Morson of Morspeed and he has been ordered to pay me the refund for the engine plus costs.Although pleased at the outcome of this case, I feel very saddened that the whole matter came to this, how one person can cause so much heartache and grief.All we now want to do, as has been the case since January, is to get on and complete Oli's dream. So I await payment and then we can proceed.Thank you all for your continued support and kind words. I will of course keep you all updated on progress from now on.Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Thats great news, I don't think I know enough words to describe somebody who can take advantage of a situation like that. Hopefully things can really start to move on with the build now ! I can't wait to see the finished product Edited October 9, 2008 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Great news Carol. Looking forward to the progress, looking at Prawns mini, the workmanship will be top notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 That's some good news at last! But am I right in thinking there is no engine at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 How heartless of the guy to even let it get this far!Congrats on getting justice!What's the plan for the engine then? Where are you getting one from now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well, provided we get the full refund entitled to us, there are several companies we have been in contact with who are willing to build us an engine to Oli's specification for the price he originally paid, despite the worth of the engine being far greater, 2 of the bigger companies (on the former workplace of Simon Morson of Morspeed) seem more than happy to help out.....Watch this space though, as the law is finally on our side, one way or another, we should see some progress within the next 28 days....

Olis Mum Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi Everyone,Further to my post yesterday, I have today received a letter from Salisbury Court stating that Simon Morson of Morspeed has now put an application forward to Leicester County Court for judgement to be set asside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will now be expected to attend a hearing in Leicester.This means that the whole matter is once again delayed and the nightmare continues.Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
