Sad news.

Admired the guys vision of what a sports car should be and his determination to produce them that way - thank you peter wheeler for all those cars.

64 is way too young. RIP Peter Wheeler.

Thank you for the great cars and the even better memories, you may be gone but you'll never be forgotten

Very sad, it was Peter's vision of TVR's that got me hooked,

The next thunderstorm we hear will be the sound of Griffiths!!!!!!

[Toffer]

Met PW at the factory and at a number of race meetings, perfect gentleman and definitely a man I would buy a car from...and did. Thank you Peter for my Griffith 500, it has been a joy! RIP and condolences to the family.
Peter's epitaph "I am only a chemical engineer"?

We all had one or two in your memory, Peter, this weekend at Le Mans. Condolences to the family and Rest in Peace. (still driving TVRs after thirty-nine years and still enjoying !)

[SpeedEight]

Thank you for all the smiles Peter, your cars put a smile on little boys faces and that is priceless!

A true Englishman, RIP

After I heard the sad news yesterday I got in my Tuscan S and went for a drive - not to go anywhere but just for the sheer joy of drving - Suddenly remembered why I bought my Tuscan and why I love Tvr`s so much - Thanks Peter for making such amazing cars and sharing them with us!

God rest your soul

Gutted, very sad news. RIP.

[KrissJ]

That is very sad news. I was fortunate enough to have a personal guide round every area of the TVR site in Blackpool in the '90s and it was very impressive to see what Peter Wheeler had built up.

RIP Peter. Respects to his family and friends.

one of the most memorable days in my life when i drove off in my tvr for the first time. r.i.p.

[dom9]

A real loss to the motoring community and a very sad day for all of us. Regardless of what happened after TVR was sold, PW brought us some amazing cars. RIP.

[GAM]

Very sad news

Wishes to all the family and friends.

I tried for 10 years to sell peter proper composite parts for TVR's and never really got any where. Brought a Tuscan and then he sold me a service and a new engine within weeks of owning it for £8500.00.

Always the business man who stuck two fingers up to the norm....

He will be missed.

GAM.

Sad news, my best wishes to his family.

Peter was a big personality with the bottle to put himself forward and do what he believed.

Like most of us I never knew the man, but I think to come to the end of your life and have so many people you never knew existed mourning your passing is the sign of a life well lived.

Rest in peace, my condolences go out to his family and friends.

He defined for me the essence of the British sportscar when I was at an impressionable age. He left an indellible mark on my character. Will anyone be able to do that again?
RIP
