The Scamp Motor Company - New Owners |
|
When the opportunity arises to buy a British car company with a rich history dating back to 1969, what do you do?
You buy it of course!!
Matt, Robin and Fraser are therefore extremely proud and excited to announce that they have taken ownership of the Scamp Motor Company from Andrew MacLean as of November 2024 continuing the successive ownership and operations dating back to 1969 when it was founded by Robert Mandry.
Andrew has owned the company since 1987, during which time he has built up a business which can rightly be described as one of the most successful and iconic kit car companies. It can also be credited as being the longest continuously trading British kit car company - a mean feat in itself.
It was the launch of the Mk3 in the magazines that initially caught our interest in the Scamp. That interest resulted in a factory visit back in 1992 where we drove the famous ANJ demo car and soon after placed an order with Andrew.
We would like to thank Andrew for everything that he has done over the years; from getting us into Scamping some 30 odd years ago right through to the transition to our ownership, where he has been extremely supportive. He is retaining the RTV and other non Scamp related parts of his business so please still get in touch with him if that is what you are after. Andrew leaves an amazing legacy of which he is rightfully very proud. It had been a pleasure to work with him and to be regaled with the many stories he had shared.
We are very excited about the future of the Scamp Motor Company and plan on continuing to support existing owners with new frames, panels (for those “where did that tree come from” moments!), sub-assemblies, fuel tanks, etc. The new Jimny based Mk4x4 is also taking shape with several currently in production at Crawley, before operations move west to the Scamp Motor Company’s new home in South East Wales.
We will continue the evolution of the Scamp brand by designing and producing the Mk5 along with launching a merchandise shop. Any feedback or thoughts on these are most welcome!
Here’s to the continuing legacy of the Scamp!
