Posted August 6, 200222 yr comment_12182 Not sure if everyone knew this but sadly, VR Engineering is no longer in business. They've ceased to operate since June 20, 2002. I have a feeling that fewer and fewer Z-vendors will remain in business as time goes by, just like the ever so decreasing quantities on NOS parts. So sad... -Guycali Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2535-another-z-vendor-bites-the-dust/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 6, 200222 yr comment_12185 Yes VR is no longer taking orders but they do have there jigs & molds up for bid. They say there dropping it because of needing too focus on there real company in with airospace. This sounds good but I think Ferrari may have had alittle hand in this aswell. They have shut down every other repro company that has done A Ferrari so...... Plus there cant be A whole ton of money in aftermarket bodies for Z cars anymore.:sleepy: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2535-another-z-vendor-bites-the-dust/#findComment-12185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 8, 200222 yr comment_12326 Hi all, it's a pity that another vendor stopped Z conversions. I like the VR GTO spyder that I saw on pictures. Did you see the yellow one in www.ebay.com under cars/oldtimer/kitcars ? Nice car, would be nice to have.Years ago I read an article about another kit car, a Cheetah !!!The kit producer was located near Phoenix/Az. I wrote a letter to the adress that was mentioned in that article.The letter came back. Does anyone have informations on that car ?Rolf Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2535-another-z-vendor-bites-the-dust/#findComment-12326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 9, 200222 yr comment_12410 Ivan, thank you for the good info. Nevertheless it's a pity. I liked that Cheetah. There is not much information on the Cheetahs here in Germany. I think even most car enthusiasts don't even know about Cheetah. How is it in the US ?Rolf Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2535-another-z-vendor-bites-the-dust/#findComment-12410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
