I can see the smile, cigar and twinkle in his eyes. Although he was diminished physically in the last few years, his personality and presence remained indomitable. We are so sad for you all.

Peter was one of my best customers and closest friends. I had so many good times with him both on factory visits to Holland and trips to Le Mans. Our friendship continued after we both retired and I shall miss the long phone conversations that we used to have.
