Scorpion bike racks - still in business?

Potentially car shopping soon, so looking at bike carrying options.

These look nice (main reasons, not wanting wheels wider than a small car with a side mount rack, and as far as i can tell, only requires a numberplate board, not a light board and the associated wiring loom cost and hassle.)

But they are "out of stock" and more worryingly, most recent customer comments on social media is someone asking for a refund for an order, with no reply, 9 months ago. Do they still exist?

If not, any other similar products?

Given the age of the most recent reviews and social media posts, I'd say they're defunct.

I tried to buy one maybe 4 years ago and couldn’t, I think he’d already packed it in back then.

I also tried to order one through their website but have never seen them in stock. I did manage to source one 2nd hand via eBay. Worked well for my needs. Since then I've sold the car with the towbar so it's sat in the garage gathering dust...

I'm on the south coast (Portsmouth) if anyone is looking for one locally (too heavy/large to post)
