no disrespect to Sandifords but if i gave a company 300 quid and heard they were closed for restructering then i'd cancel the payment IMMEDIATELY

They are always closed Tuesday and having dealt with them for a few years I have faith you will get your parts!

Their website says they are restructuring so I'd expect a delay while they transfer orders over to the new company.

Well my complete uniformed speculation would be that as they aren't the Montesa dealers any more they will separate off the spares business from the bike dealing business. Once thats done I imagine they'll transfer the outstanding orders over to the new spares company. That will leave their bike dealer / repairs side of the business able to focus on whatever new marques they're going to be concentrating on. Just a guess anyway...
