TPC was a company based in Stratford On Avon called Tudor Panel Craft, The first vehicle built was Pink, this was used at the TPC launch in Warwickshire, many moons ago. The Directors were John Fincham, and Igor Kolodotski. John was the talent, Igor was the money - unfortunately Igor, purchased way to much stock, and put the company under severe financial pressure, only 20ish vehicles were built, the archives are long gone, I have John's mobile number - I'm sure he would share his knowledge with club members - out of nostalgia. I would very much like to track down this Pink car. If ANY members can help, I would be very greatful. I can remember visiting John at the factory as he was building these cars. I would love to buy a TPC, if one ever becomes available. John is my uncle. Regards Paul.
