Hi Guys,

As some of you well know, David MacBean is the current owner of Silva Autokits (or Sylva Sportscars) after purchasing it from Jeremy Philips in 2016.

I have been trying to contact David to no avail, lots of Google searches, some dead end phone numbers found, unanswered emails sent to enquiries@sylvasportscars.co.uk It is in regards to getting something started again with Sylva cars.

I wonder if anyone here could help me to contact David please, an email or a phone number, please PM me, or if concerned with the information, please offer my email to him?

I can be got at cheapracer@yahoo.com and/or pandabiz@163.com

Much appreciate any assistance, Mark.

Hi,
David closed Sylva Autokits down a few years ago and was looking for a home for the moulds/jigs etc.
I haven't heard from him for a while and was concerned what had happened to the mould/jigs etc and what was basically the remnats of a great and fantastic brand.
I have, however, heard that Sylva Autokits may have been sold to another party. I have no details and no names and not going to speculate but hopefully we may have positive news when said party is ready to reveal!
Unfirtunately I don't think you'll be able to contact David, and if you did he probably can't help anyway!
Best wishes,
Edeward Berresford

Hi Edd,

Appreciate the prompt reply.

David is still listed as the owner of the company on the UK Government registered trademark/company sites, and currently "Active" with company report lodged this year.

I would like to do something with the Sylva name and the history in terms of licensing etc. with an appropriate suitable product.

That's the plan Stan ...
