I read in the Financial's that there is a buyer sizing up Optare and it's share price rocketed accordingly. It would be nice to think that a new owner might grow the company but just as easily we could lose it. However as it is struggling at the moment but with new products in the pipeline I can't see it being melted down unless of course it's Kraft on their tail. Dennis made it's mark with the Dart whilst Optare revolutionised the minibus market by providing a cheap yet sophisticated alternative to the crude 'bread van' Transit. They went on to build single-deckers to the same formula but have yet to enjoy success with a double-decker especially as the promising Spectra flopped.
