You could buy the 'new' one thats being built - I am sure 139K would cover it?

recovered a guy back to his home few weeks ago. he lived facing bristol ave he was telling me all the stories of the sp12 one night early hours around 3am he was woken by howling !!! looking out he saw what apeared to be 3 sp12's screaming round followed by a 4th quieter one ??? maybe a ajp engined variant of a roling test bed. 1 was dark red 1 a white one the main 1 was the all race decaled racer then the quieter dark blue maybe black he watched with little interest as tvrs to him were more common than fiestas at the time !!! then he bought a griff and how he changed
I remember seeing a blue cerbera speed 12 roar across strensall common about 7-8 years ago. No doubts at all about what it was. It sounded monsterous too. Someone was definately taking the cars out for runs on public roads.

there asking around 180k i was thinking 140 was amore realistic price i would love some suggestions
I could make you one that is very similiar with a very limited warranty for circa £250K incl. VAT. It would be tweaked to work reasonably well on the road and be devastating on the track.

I could make 10 of the beasts for considerably less per vehicle but the sale price per car would need to be a minimum of £160K inc. VAT. e.g. £140K is too cheap for such a special car.

Actually, all I really need is ten buyers paying upfront and we could have the best race series imaginable. They could be called GMA's or GVR's and the list goes on... suggestions anyone.

Give me ten years and I'll take one! In all seriousness, I think someone building Cerb Speed 12 replicas would be awesome.

It's happening but will take a fair old while before the pictures emerge. Also, they will appear in Sprint first.

Lets just say dry build is progressing well!

There was a mention in another thread but I was craving pictures that never came, or did they and I missed it?
Wishing you continued success regardless.

It is, no secret that it's being built in Bristol Avenue. Both W112 and this new car were seen side by side if you went on a factory visit st the recent BNG/Backhome event.
