Hi guys....We lost Rich (Sheel) after a 30 month fight against cancer last night. Many of you would have met him and some great TVR enthusiasts gave up their time to get his pride and joy back on the road after it was badly damaged in an accident.

Rich's family and friends together with his determination to get the Tiv back on the road helped him fight against the illness till the end.

Rich's post "Need Help" makes a great read and shows what a great community this is.

RIP Rich...

Sorry to hear that. I read about the accident, cancer and rebuild and it is a credit to the TVR community.

RIP.

Rest in peace Rich. Big thanks to Alun and the others who helped him get some happiness from the TVR before he passed!

Never had the pleasure of meeting Rich but having lost my father in law to a brain turmor earlier in the year after a short battle and at only 52.. I hope Rich is now at peace tearing around in his TVR. My thoughts and love are with he's family and many friends during this awful times.

Sad to hear, read his rebuild thread with dust in my eyes. So glad it was finished in time and credit to all that helped.

RIP

Just read the rebuild thread. I like what they did with that car, it looked good!

Sad times, C's a bh. But fair play to him and everyone involved. Amazing determination and he didn't seem to let it get him down. I'd like to hope I could be like that, if anything happened to me. Inspirational stuff.

Very sad news indeed. RIP Rich.
The original post was a marvelous show of how people can rally around to help someone in need. A true show of what the TVR community is all about.
Well done to all involved to get his car up and running in the time they did.
Our thoughts are with his family at this most difficult time.
Simon.

Big Al.

It's threads like this that really hit home and should make us all really appreciate what's important, and what is just a minor irritation in life. RIP.
