Speed 12

So, after years and years of being ever so slightly obsessed with this car, I finally got to see it in the flesh at Lakeland Motor Museum this weekend.
It is a thing of stunning beauty, craftsmanship, design... just out and out and wow factor! Complete and utter goose bumps! A credit to its owner.
The smell through the open side window is a car nuts dream. It's like a million classic car owners garages all rolled in to one.
Everyone that came through the doors was stopping by the Speed 12, there was even a queue at one point, which I have never seen for any other car at the museum.
For anyone interested, I believe it is there for the majority of this year. I will be going back again soon!

To be factually correct it's a Speed 12 Cerbera. The Speed 12 was the earlier car with a spaceframe chassis as opposed to the Speed 12 Cerbera's Folded alloy tub

Absolutely, thanks for that!

I know exactly how you feel.
I saw that car at the ex-factory in Bristol Lane at the Back Home event in 2010. What a car. What a legend. Words cannot describe.

The first hypercar shame it didnt officially sell when they were made although it was too mental to be let loss on public roads !!!!!

Taking absolutely nothing away from this impeccably maintained beast.

As it has been mentioned, has there been any progress with the speed 12 that was at Track V Road?? Or is it still in the showroom on axle stands with it's wheels on old oil drums looking like they are attached???
