I may have disagreed with PW's philosophies, but without him the car market would have been a much duller place. We need variety and individuality, and we need people with vision and the courage to pursue it...so my tribute is that I fervently hope he's not the last of his kind in the industry!!!
RIP...
Just learned this, and quite shocked and saddened.
All I can say, is well done Peter for what you created during your time at the helm of what was a very special company, making special cars, for people that felt (feel) special when driving them. The Speed 12 will stay with me as the most outrageous car I have ever seen in the skin. 64 is no age at all, but as has been said above, what a life!!
RIP Peter. I guess you are reunited with the dog that designed the Chimaera again.

A huge loss. A true British maverick. He made the cars that no one else would ever make - and inspired many other companies, large and small.
For a small British car manufacturer to design and build their own engines - especially ones that perform so well - truly awesome !
Of course lots of people disagreed with him - if he had been the same as everyone else he couldn't have built those cars.....
A man who actually achieved something, and will be remembered - top geezer.
RIP and condolences to his family.
