Closing the site for two minutes.

Bravo.

RIP.

I agree, a really nice gesture. Well done PistonHeads and rest in peace.

Fiat ceased manufacturing this model?

Please explain!

The website was closed for two minutes from 10.45 - about the time Peters Whelens hearse was setting off.

Nothing to do with dodgy Itlian hatchbacks

Peter Whelen is a playright

But I think you mean Peter Wheeler "the" TVR man

I just assumed it was one of the frequent PH breakdowns/slowdowns/hamster-crises.

No, this one was on purpose!

The message read:

As a mark of respect for the late Peter Wheeler, whose hearse has just set off for the funeral along an A59 lined with TVRs, PistonHeads has closed the site for two minutes.

Thanks for the V8s, the straight sixes and all the good times, Peter.

Well done.

Nice to see some old fashioned virtues and respect.

I hope they had a nice 'salute' with all those burbling v8s.
