Just thinking about the tasmin range of cars .Got me thinking of Oliver Winterbottom.Who I rate as the Best car stylist to come from this country.If you look at the original fixed head cars through to to later cars he was a clever stylist.i would like to get in touch with him and tell him so .... I have met Mike Kimberly of lotus fame who Oliver worked with.Also love lotus ...Mr Kimberley is a great guy .Just wanted to say thanks to Ollie .Mike

He was guest of honour at this years BBWF. A very nice chap indeed.

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!!"

I can pass on an email to him if you email me, I don't like to give out his contact details...You might be a stalker!....

He did actually ask me to pass on his best wishes to you all at Christmas...

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?

[Mike Brewer]

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.
