To the best of my knowledge the history is as follows:

speed 12:

White racer and purple show car. Can't recall hearing what happened to the white car (assume in bits at the factory), but the purple one was covered in dust at the factory some time ago.

Cerbera speed 12:

1 blue race car became black, white, then black again, then was smashed at Thruxton.
1 white race car, became black to replace the smashed one.
1 silver 'road' car became the red one that was mentioned in lower in the thread.

The Tuscan R in build is the car for Eclipse - John Griffiths Motorsport. The team have great experience running Ginettas and Marcos Challenge cars. For the last two years they have struggled with the Marcos Mantis GTO. This is not the first time the team have been involved with TVR as they ran a car for Paul "Angry Ant" Lewis and David Loudoun in early 1996.
