Sir Trevor Wilkinson

[lazyitus]

I just wondered about this guy who founded our cars.

He's in a few photos of this months 'Sprint' but never seems to get any mentions of what he does today and where he resides etc.

I know he stepped out of the company some time ago but if it wasn't for him, our lives would surely be alot duller than they are today.

Credit to you Mr W. In my book, you deserve Knighthood.

He retired to Minorca, its in the text in Sprint. I'm sad, I read it from cover to cover.

I spent some time talking to the great man himself when at 'Back Home' last month. He is a really nice gentlemen. We had quite a chat - and one question I asked him was what car he drives now? I think I should make this a competition on P/Hs for everyone to guess (or I'll swap the info with anyone who can confirm who the Stig is!).

As said above, TreVoR now resides in Minorca most of the year but does travel back here in the summer to see family. His main hobby is playing around with his boat these days. I recall that when he was working in Balckpool, at one time he used to make boats!

Not even close . Keep guessing.

AM DB7?

[TUS 373]

LeeBee is closest so far.

Do you think TreVoR would drive a British car still Manek?

[Terminator]

He must have changed it recently because he drove a Jaguar back in 1995.

Think I should have suggested a Porker?

Not a Porker, Jag, Aston,Seat or Renault. Getting a little warmer though. Clue: it is not a British hatchback.

I need more detail on Stig first - who is CJ (or am I just ignorant!).

Lets hope his boats didn't leak as much as his cars

I thought this thread might be about proposing Trev for a knighthood...
