Sadly, Karmann in Germany has filed for insolvency

Don't know how this affects Crossfire owners. For example, who holds stock of body panels etc?

Oh man, another great company that has been around for a very long time. They will be missed...

 

They're doing a reorganization in bankruptcy from what I understand, which means a smaller version of the company should continue to exist provided they can put together a viable business plan. Onthe positive side, the Crossfire will undoubteldly be the last full body assembly they do even if they can reorganize, which kind of adds to the mystique of the car.

 

Good question. I do know that when the dealership replaced my rocking chair frame under warranty, they had to ship the part from "overseas" which I'm guessing is the fatherland.

Either way I wouldn't be worried about getting spares as it's a fairly current model and they won't gain anything by liquidating their inventory.

 

They are still mailing out stickers. I just read a thread on the coupe forum and quite a few are getting them now.
