Teseven burnt down (1 Viewer)

[flx]

Yesterday, while France is in confinement, the building housing Teseven burnt down.

For those who don't know, Teseven is a French 40-series restauration company that recently sold one for more than 100k€ on auction: Rétromobile 2020 | Vente n°3980 | Lot n°89 | Artcurial
Some may know them for the stainless body they were selling at start.

They were still posting new projects on their Facebook page 2 days ago: Teseven Toyota Classic

I can say I'm not a big fan of how they do their restaurations and the bling around it but I must say they did not deserved that

We can only see what is outside but the best ones and the most advanced projects were probably inside

No info on how this happened at this time.
3 craftsman companies were housed in this building and it seems people were working inside at time the fire started (but don't know from which companies).

WOW that does suck

I hope everybody’s ok ... and hope their business has a speedy recovery

Yes, forgot to tell it but off course it's the most important. The French article precise that everyone got out quickly when the fire started and no one got hurt!

"A fire broke out this Thursday, April 9 at the start of the afternoon. An industrial building in the Sidobre Vals et Plateaux community in the Tarn caught fire shortly before 1.20 p.m. In total, 1,500 square meters were completely set on fire. On the spot, road from Castres to Vabre, 52 firefighters were still trying to completely extinguish the fire around 3:30 p.m. Half of the premises collapsed.

Presence of gas cylinders
The building that caught fire is called "The relay workshops". It brings together several companies including a carpentry and a body shop. The Tarn firefighters found gas and acetylene bottles there as well as an oil tank. The firefighters were able to feed their equipment by suction on the nearby stream.

All the workers present on the site left the building before the arrival of the firemen."

I was fortunate to meet Fabien and visit his shop in 2014, great guy, awesome work and the best tubs anywhere. This really hurts, glad no one was hurt.

I know he had one. Thought that was finished. This one looks to have the doors removed.

Miserable. Hate to see it happen to anyone.

Totally sucks but I'm glad to hear that everyone got out ok. Any word on what started the fire?

Let us know if you hear anything.
Sucks, I have seen their stainless tub and the new standard tub but did not get to see that one up close . Both were by far miles above any of the cobbled together South American garbage that gets foisted on the land cruiser crowd as a good tub.
I hope they are able to recover from this and continue their work.
