Ooh...I'm *very* interested! Do you fancy swopping for a 911 Carrera!

Theres 1 road car left of the 2/3 that were made.

This is the only one and there wont be another.

Keith Flint is rumoured to have ordered one but never recieved it.

That's the Cerbera Speed 12 (awesome race car) and NOT the Speed 12. Does anyone know where the Speed 12 (more elegant and designed as a road car) is or whether it still exists?

When I was at the factory last (Nov 02), there was a dark red/purple S12 being prepared to go to Japan, for a buyer there.

Purple

Nice



What a fantastic car...a bit hot in the cabin though after a few laps..I suppose two Tuscan engines and exhaust pipes down the middle don't help keep it cool inside.

Still this is a proper TVR bruiser

That's the car. Well done for finding a photo. 800+ bhp, claimed 250+mph and people think that the Sagaris is extreme.

Last time I saw that car was in an article in sprint - looking very sorry for itself in the TVR 'graveyard' at the back of the factory.

Not sure where it is now though...

The Speed 12 (pictured above) was the original car that was
superseded by the Cerbera Speed 12.

I have no knowledge of any Speed 12 'out there' other than
those in bits at the factory.

The Cerbera Speed 12 is now 'out there' and there will be a detailed
history on www.Speed12.info in about a week and I am sure this
will include from it's roots as the Speed 12.

If its at TVR they should put it back together for its historical value!....jeees I can't believe they chopped the yellow speed 6 up too.
