To be fair to Guy he did say that their decision to cease selling to self builders was part brand protection but mainly supply and cost issues. But you see the problem that also comes with self built cars. The word Kit is rightly or wrongly associated with them. Type into google Pembleton and kit car pops up. There is a thread on the Pembleton forum "Are Pembleton kit builders disowned by the new company". Potential buyers who do not do the homework could easily move on to something else.
