No, not Paul Van Dyk...

Old timers will remember them. Performance Vauxhall Developments..

Apparently one of the men involved, Pete Dennis, was killed in a motorbike accident a few weeks back.

Ok so thier business went south, but still sad news.

Did they have adverts in old max power magazine in red or am I thinking of Peter Maiden?

Had a set of their springs on my saloon when it had the 2.0 in it. Pretty sure it was one of those rear springs that nearly took craigs head off lol

Sad news to hear about the accident though.

They were the first big Vauxhall company IIRC. Well, after Courtenay. Were Regal about then??

Pretty sure they were around at the same time. I'm sure I remember seeing ads in mags for PVD whilst regal were mentioned or featured as well
