Lots:

CS12 - W112 BHG - engine rebuild has been completed and engine is probably already back in the car. General nut and bolt check taking place.

CS12 - W312 BFV - panels being painted whilst lots of little things are finished off.

If either one is ready for BNG then I'll bring it along. W112 BHG is looking the most likely right now.
That's VERY exciting news.
I contonue to wish you lots of momentum, and look forward to your projects being complete, even if I'll likely only ever see or hear them in a virtual world.

Best,
B.

...Just heading out on to a (minor) public road...with 5000M up ahead at BNG smile

Around the next couple of corners were a bunch of tivvers heading up to the event who all had to pull over to let these rather rare and exciting cars pass.

I remember thinking...there's going to be some pretty wide-eyed people in that queue. hehe

+1 Imagine - just imagine what it must be like to be behind the wheel! And to own it!

I rarely get green eyed over anything, but the Speed 12 Oh yes!

I was in that Q, along with a few other SYTVRCC chaps. Wide eyed doesn't even come close Graham.


PS Have you bought a Moggy 1000 yet?

I was in that queue too and had a thought that we might have missed seeing them, I'm glad I was wrong.

A few random pics from the weekend...

I think this was Saturday lunch when the running in oil was dumped...






we layed the cars up overnight in the hanger....this shot sums it up....evening sun...dust on the cars..all had done what they needed to..



then we cleaned them as best as we could and went fr another run..the SP12 became a focal point which is only right and proper...

Graham, It's the P&J of all P&J's, especially with it being so rare, but would you ever, ever consider letting the Stig take it round the Top Geat track ??? It would be awesome to have TVR Cerbera Speed12 sat at the top of the all time list....
