Emails to vintageMGparts.com are bouncing back to me and I am not able to access their website. Does anyone have any information about them?

Nick. I’ve found contacting them a bit hit and miss. Richard Hardy seems to be active on other forums so you may have more luck by contacting him direct

I was in contact with Richard but he was concerned about scammers. "I cannot transact at the moment with this compromised email address and we are not at the moment issuing any payment requests." He suggested Messenger on Facebook for communication. He appears to have shut down the email address.

Hi All
We are very much alive but being a little preoccupied with clearing up after an unsuccessful and somewhat highly sophisticated hacking attempt, we think by AI robots.
We still do not know if the hack was being operated on the fringe of two separate customer’s email accounts or, if they had managed somehow to penetrated various VMGP firewalls, even those built into Apple Mac hardware.This seems unlikely but the hackers deleted all their footprints when they knew they had been rumbled, so we may never know.
Suffice to say, as a precaution, VMGP immediately closed its email account but this has also unfortunately brought down the website which our host providers are trying to resurrect. We also took the decision to cease taking payments for the time being. Our bank accounts were all the time totally secure.
We thought we would use this opportunity to replace our Apple hardware which we wanted to upgrade anyway but this all takes time to get back up and running. Jill and I, as many know, also have separate demanding full time day jobs so we are doing what we can and orders are stil being posted out.
I can be contacted by Messenger or, through the Vintage MG Parts Facebook page. I cannot be contacted through this Register Forum email link but hopefully soon it will be full steam ahead once again.
Regards to all
Rich
