Life after Peter
DRIVE UP BRISTOL AVENUE IN BLACKPOOL today and you won’t find much left of the place where Peter Wheeler and his team of mostly young, enthusiastic engineers and designers conceived, developed and built cars like the Griffith, Cerbera and Sagaris. Instead you’ll find the works being replaced by rows of neat, new industrial units catering for a range of small businesses.
The development is called The Wheeler Hub and in a year or two it could become a destination for TVR and sports car fans generally once more because at its heart will be a life-size statue of 6ft 6in Peter Wheeler and his beloved dog, Ned.
The TVR works in Bristol Avenue was never a particularly handsome place, looking more like a factory making something mundane
