    Yeah they have closed down, Clive cams in Melbourne will still have records of all if not almost all Wade's profiles if anyone is chasing them.

    It is a real shame. They had been going for about 52 years!

    Face it, you need to get third world wages to affordably build a car.

    Or give incentives to the public for buying Australian made cars and other things like no tax on Australian made items.
    If that happened then other manufacturers may have been inclined to start producing cars here, making more jobs possibly, all without spending a government penny. Sure a bit of revenue lost, but regained in workers taxes etc
    I'm sure my theory is flawed though
