Trevor

[pmr123]

I heard the other day that the company TVR was set up by a guy called Trevor. He decided that to call his cars Trevor was a bit sad, so dropping the vowels, he came up with TVR.

I actually don't know the origin of the name, so I wondered if anyone here might be able to verify the above theory?

'tis true. Trevor Wilkinson and he's still alive.

Teds right, they actually started life as Trevcar motors!! Changed to TVR not long after. And Trevor Wilkinson is alive and kicking and living in Menorca. I met him in Blackpool two years ago and had a great chat with him and like a saddo I had my picture taken with him standing next to my Griffith!!!

I didn't quite beleive my mate, but I guess that he does have a clue about some things!

..and, whats sad about that?

Sad is when someone keeps a plastic throw away dog bone that his own (I pretend wifes) dog steals off PW dog at the factory. I still have it after two years, unmarked since its removal!!

Flasher we even have the video of you and him...400SE been sold sniff sniff

[pmr123]

I'm still jealous....of the picture, the video, but not of the bone!!!!!!

And he's my Enzo Ferrari too!

Must be something about us Griff pilots! - Must let fumes into the cokcpit or something.

Best thing was he told me the Griff was the best ever TVR. I can't really argue with that

Jamer, congratulations!!! you are sadder than me!!
