GROWL - Martin Lilley is attending!!!!!!!!!
Discussion
I am delighted to announce that Martin Lilley has very kindly agreed to join us at the Growl on the Saturday.
Many of you may not know Martin so here is a brief introduction:
Martin, and his father Arthur, took ownership of TVR from Trevor Wilkinson in 1965 And owned the company until 1981 when Peter Wheeler took over.
Martin was responsible for cars like the Vixen, 60’s Tuscan and the M series cars. Under Martins ownership TVR produced the UK’s first production turbo charged car and TVR’s first convertible, the 3000S. He even commissioned nude models for the 1971 motor show!!
He was also responsible for the introduction of the Wedge shaped cars, which Peter then developed.
Without Martin the TVR brand may well have died and we would be driving some other marque, so we all owe Martin our gratitude and thanks that he kept a very special brand alive.
Please show your thanks by attending the Growl and shake the great mans hand.
