That's terrible.

Poor sods. Not just the owners of the cars, but the business.

Saw that on Facebook, awful situation for everyone. I dare say it'll all be replaced by insurance but there's more to these things than just money. A lifetimes work, people's pride and joy with hours of blood, sweat and tears all gone up in smoke. Things money can't buy nor replace. I hope RB Motorsport are back up and running and the people's cars are also replaced as soon as possible and with as little hassle as possible.

We heard about this through social media whilst out at the Ring. Looks like a total loss. Obviously losing customer cars is a nightmare but the extras that keep the business running too - computers, data/records/customer information, paperwork etc. Will take a long time to fix that

Looks like the front end of a Mk1 Escort in the right hand corner of the second photo. The modern stuff can be replaced but the old stuff is going to be a bit more difficult. Then as Steve says, it's all the equipment and tools, a mechanics tools are his own, they don't belong to the business and aren't necessarily covered by your employers insurance.
