Wow, just read the link Dano posted, thanks for that.
By the looks of those pictures they have been very lucky indeed!
A stark reminder of how easy such things can happen!
Thankfully no one hurt and as a footnote. A big thank should go to the Fire Crew for their speedy response and they skills at dealing with such a situation!

Hi All
I did put a post on mk2oc forum and corrado forum in reply to their threads, we are trading as usual, no parts nor the building were damaged in the fire.
It started via the T25 as you have read, I think the crafter being so large stopped it spreading as quick as it could,
All of our cars were in the car park so as you can imagine it was a worrying time for all of us.
7 vehicles in total are damaged lost. The early bay belongs to Ben who is on holiday, the new Beetle is also his, both his cars were here whilst he was away.
Our crafter show / work van is dead, company mercedes is dead, the green beetle got away with paint blisters and a melted rear light, i would say thanks to bend bus being there and the wind going the other way towards all our cars in the car park, but thank god or it would have taken all the pallets in the yard
All can be replaced, luckily all staff and work dogs were all ok.
no arson attack, complete accidental, no one knows why the T25 went bang at this time
