Says it all really (http://www.drivers-republic.com/first_look/news/details.cfm?articleid=f0ead39facc146febbc2a8852b77 d32c)
For those of you who don't know him Peter Wheeler was the Chairman and owner of TVR between 1980 and 2004, Wheeler was responsible for turning out some of the most outrageous and best-loved British sports cars.
RIP & Condolences to the family

They mentioned this on the Le Mans broadcast.
Sad stuff. :(
It's always sad to see the continued death of the quirky domestic car.

RIP indeed
Sad news.
Car manufactures have become so much more tame with his absence from a CEO position

With Wheeler at the helm, TVR produced some of history's most beautiful sportscars and one awesome engine, the Speed Six. May the legacy live on!

Bad news, sorry to see him go. He certainly built some of my favorite cars. Im my opinion, he was a very passionate about cars and it certainly reflects from his creations.
