Now I wonder is it for sale as it would go well in my collection!

Bonus point if you can name the only TVR to finish and Win an international 12hr Endurance race.

and the circuit

:-)

treble bonus points if you can also tell me what the actual engine size was...

The blue one is JRs and is the only factory v8 racer
Shorty was a sp6 as stated

G I'm guessing the answer is a blue tuscan with a 4l rv8 in it?
