Remember when very few cars had a radio, now its common place.
Electric windows, sun-roofs and air-con where for top of the range vehicles.
Only XR3i and GTIs had fuel injection.

Now we are seeing SAT-NAV and in-car DVD and LCD SCREENS being fitted by car owners These are considered luxury items still or add-on kits.

We are now seeing SAT-NAV and in-car entertainment systems being fitted to more and more new cars, this will be the expected norm in the future.

With yet another contract added again today I feel that Designer Vision Ltd is the stock to back and get in early on the car entertainment boom.

They are going to lose a maximum of 1.5M and only the derampers have comented on the tight margins.If you take time to read the interims you can find out exactly what the margins are.

They do have a strong order book as per the last RNS and with the potential of more contracts to be announced you can sit on your hands or make money at these prices.

no offfence Moneyman but some people never learn.....this comapny is a basket case.

a 1.5M loss this year...this means that they have to fork out in excess on 1.5M in cash to supliers/staff this year....where are they getting the free cash flow and for a comapny that has never made a full year profit I wonder how long they can go before they go bust.

Just heard the advert on Q103 radio station Cambridge that Citroen are giving this equipment away free with certain new models as an incentive scheme to buy their cars.

Technotamed, that offer is also listed on the citroen uk website.

Only on some models (probably the ones they can't sell) as a special offer and probably limited in time. It may be an indication of how cheap they are getting them from DVS and consequently how tight DVS's margins are.

Yes, they are limited in time, which makes sense if you are a car manufacturer aiming to reach quarterly sales targets. Good news for DVS.

Haystack - do you actually know anything about this company?

Enough to know that I wouldn't believe much that they say.

Nice to see that British Bulls have this as a confirmed BUY

It is difficult to see on what basis they have it as a buy. It is at its all-time low price, especially a confirmed buy.

LOL Haystacks - It's your site isn't it and done fully on charts !

25K on offer at 1.5p with MMs bidding 1.25p (over the offer) for upto 500K of stock.

Chart looks like a double bottom to me.....what say thee ?

What I say, Moneyman, is that company brokers and nomads have left, plus 2 non exec directors, and I'm concerned that we may never see this company listed again!

Does anyone know anything about this, is it likely to ever surface again?

Unlikely, which is a shame because they had some decent contracts. But a poor boss.

Surely if you have bought shares they are still valid although you can't trade them.

DVS.L code went invalid on Reuters today.

........which means .....?

Just try charting it or getting a quote on a financial web site - say MoneyAm or iii. It is effectively unlisted!

The DVS website is still running but was last updated in March 2006.

Is there anyone we can ask, maybe there is a restructuring going on, or maybe a buy-out?

Surely this is dead isn't it? It's gone into administration, existing shareholders won't get anything back as far as I can see.
