You're right he's a really great guy. At a Lotus Excel meeting a couple of years ago I won the "Best Modified" award and Oliver Winterbottom presented the certificate upon which he had written "How Dare You!!" smile

I like his Lotus work too, but how much did he have with the later Wedge's? Did he not part company with TVR after the series 2 FHC?

I think he was only involved with the early cars. As I said I have a great respect for his work I think he started with Jaguar .Also love his work with Lotus. ?Looks a great guy.Mike

It's really impressive that he makes the effort to go to TVR events. He must be proud when he sees all the enthusiasm still around for his creations.
