Online dealer goes bust
New Car Discount, an online retailer based in Lancashire, has collapsed, leaving customers worried they might never see the car they ordered.
Administrators from DTE are at the company's offices in Nelson after director David Scholfield filed for voluntary liquidation.
New Car Discount's phone lines and website are no longer active.
The internet address now provides a web page stating that administrators have appointed Steve Durkin Vehicle Sales as their handling agent to match cars to customers.
The collapse comes two years after the closure of Virgin Cars, a high profile venture into online new car retailing by Richard Branson's Virgin Group.
