OK, we're still not over the news of
TVR's return
- without TVR there is no PistonHeads after all! We all owe a lot to the Blackpool rockets that inspired the creation of this very site back in 1998. Appropriately enough this video is from 1998 too, apparently ripped from something called a VHS video... It shows the first test of the TVR Speed 12, that truly extraordinary Cerbera first shown in 1996 and ready for production in 2000. It never reached those people who placed a deposit thought as the 12 was deemed too wild for the road. By Peter Wheeler. Must have been quite a car.
This video is hardly of the highest quality and it could be half the length but it's hard to complain when it features a TVR flippin' Speed 12. And there's an Elise GT1. Sit back and enjoy!

[N.B Yes, the image and the vid don't quite match but the grabs from a VHS aren't brilliant. Plus it's an excuse link back to the original PH Speed 12 story!]
