No link to any specific release but I've seen this mentioned in a few different places that Ebbro have declared bankruptcy.
Got a fair few of their models in my collection, both diecast and the later resin models. Will be a shame - hopefully people don't use this as a cynical opportunity to bump second hand prices.

What a shame. High-quality models for reasonable prices, I have a few in my collection.

I echo Tom's sentiments. I also have some in my collection, they made very nice models.

That is a shame but a sure sign of the times.

I too managed to buy some excellent Ebbro 1:43 die cast models when St Martins were selling them.

I have only handful Porsche models from Ebbro and all of them are excellent miniatures. It is a shame but this is the time we are living in.
Producing a diecast model is expensive and manufacturers cannot recoup their investment.

I have many Ebbros, mostly the 'oldies' ones and a 1/24 240z

I saw this mentioned in the Grand Prix models newsletter, but there nothing I could see on Ebbro's own website. Anyone got a reliable source?
