GTP WTAC Week 67 : Trevcar Motors -> TVR Engineering -> TVR
*** In 1946, Trevor Wilkinson bought a local wheel repair business and renamed in Trevcar Motors in 1947. Later in 1947, Mr. Wilkinson built his first car and started TVR Engineering. The company went through one more name change in 1954 to the present-day TVR. And in 1962, the founder left the company and retired to Minorca, Spain (he died there in 2008). The ownership then finally was transferred in 1965 to a gentleman by the name of Martin Lilley and remained under his control until being sold to a TVR enthusiast in 1981 by the name of Peter Wheeler. It is in this era that all the TVR cars in this game are from. He was key in helping to shape all the bodies of the TVR cars while under his ownership and, judging from the world reaction, he did a great job. His passion for these cars and the brand could never be called into question. In 2004, Mr. Wheeler sold the company to a 24 year old Russian and TVR has ever since been in turmoil. The company was split up into multiple companies and sold off. Most of the car's production was moved to Turin, Italy with only the engine factory remaining in the United Kingdom. While TVR isn't officially dead, it is certainly on life-support and car enthusiasts are left with the hope the company can climb back to the day in which TVR inspired the automotive world. ***
