Ever hear the name TVR? Well, without Raymond Saidel, Trevor Wilkinson may never have brought TVR to the production car phase of its life. In 1950, Ray Saidel sold his share of the Sky Service of New England (a charter flying service he had started after WW II) and took control of the Merrimack Street Garage, when his father Morris Saidel passed away. Ray kept flying for pleasure and as a member of the civil air patrol, while at the helm of Merrimack Street garage.
