ManwithSupra Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Any idea what caused the fire? I'm surprised they didn't seem to have a fire suppression system... it being an explosive environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash808 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looks a lot of heat from the fire as the alloy on the cosworth has completely melted, could be from a spark from a weld onto some rags, as an electrician I wouldn't rule out a loose connection possibly a neutral on a piece of heavy amperage equipment like a welder I've just tested a garage who specialises in restoring jensons interceptors, and wouldn't say the premises is safe Horrible too see [sAD][/sAD] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 How would insurance cover work in a case like this? Would customers cars and parts be covered in full under the insurance of the business? Or is it up to individuals to argue their car's respective values with their own insurers as a non fault claim? The latter sounds like it could leave a lot of people out of pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
