RE: Peter Wheeler Dies Aged 64
Discussion
I've been away for the week and have just found out, he was a bloody hero of mine.
I still get a tingle up the spine whenever I see or hear one of his creations, I'll never forget staying awake for 24 hours listening on internet radio to the 2004 Le Mans race and meticulously checking the timing sheets hoping/praying they'd complete the race......and they did.
Feckin' legend, RIP!

Plenty of others for that purpose - ta
TVR a kit car?
Let me see:
Bespoke engine: Check
Bespoke chassis: Check
Bespoke bodyshell: Check
Bespoke electronics: Check
Race series: Check
Hmmm, hang on, it uses an off the shelf ECU.
Bah, damned kit cars.
The best thing about it? PW would be pissing himself at such a comment, so bless you.

A bit late here also but wanted to say R.I.P. PW.
An absolute legend, even if his legacy won't quite be as good as it might have been.
Only met him once at the Birmingham Motor Show a few years back, when the girlfriend made him laugh by saying she thought the Tamora looked like a hairdressers car. She did back it up by saying she loved the Tuscan though!

A bit late but I forgot to post earlier...
A sad loss. My Cerbera made me smile like no other car I've driven before or since - the performance, the looks and particularly the noise (especially with the sports exhaust & flames popping out the back)!
It may of been flawed and cost me a fortune but it was awesome & I still miss it!
RIP PW and condolences to friends and family.

PW was an eccentric, British, motoring legend. He will be sadly missed, but his legacy will live on in every TVR (of his era) that is still left on the roads.
I loved my Chim. It never failed to make me smile every time I took it out. Thanks for that Peter.
