Trojan (1974)

Ran the family wine business, before being involved with Lambretta, which led to the family acquiring Trojan in 1959. The F1 attempt was just one of numerous car projects, which included a deal with Heinkel to sell their bubble cars under the Trojan umbrella, renaming them Cabin Cruisers. In 1964, Agg bought the Elva firm and this led to a tie-up with McLaren for many years, where over 200 sportscars were built. Peter stayed involved with the car and bike world (Peter managed the Suzuki team and was a huge help to Barry Sheene), and attended many Trojan events in his role as patron, in which role he remained until his death. Charlie, his son, is a historic racer.
