Do you still have a copy of the sign you set up at the NEC. That might be useful for dhf? I've
TBH I'd forgotton about those races so not as poor as I was remembering and I guess pretty good for an project that could be considered as being run on a shoestring compared to some others.Yes I have the thing I wrote for the NEC so if Dermot wants to send me his email address I'll forward the file over.

I've got a list of all the race results somewhere. I'll dig it out when I have a minute.. I think it was something like three 1st's at different circuits and numerous 2nd's and 3rd's. Amazing for a car which never reached it's full potential.Yes I have the thing I wrote for the NEC so if Dermot wants to send me his email address I'll forward the file over.

I have to commentate on a TVR Race here in Ireland in a couple of weeks time and will have to give the crowd a potted history of TVR,anyone one got any good stats,stories on Speed 12 or any TVR related info which would suit..
I read somewhere in a popular motoring magazine, that the Speed 12 has a higher power to weight ratio than the Bugatti Veyron. (Lighter body and + - 800bhp) Strewth !A standard well sorted Griff 500 will outsprint many a many Porsche and Ferrari. 0-60, 4.2 seconds. 0-100 10.1 secs. Autocar, Millbrook test 1993.
