The first one looks to be the Speed 12 motorshow presentation car, model type thing

IIRC it wasnt a fully built car...could be wrong though

The photos were taken on the TVR factory car park at the back of the building, they were taken quite a while ago and the speed 12 was just a dummy car for the motorshow, it was an empty shell, thats why it had blacked out windows through lack of interior.

Dirt and junk?

Those are precision engineered components in TVR climate-controlled storage awaiting fitment to customers' cars wink.

That IS the first SPEED 12 showcar, it did not have blacked out windows, they were dark smoked perspex.
I built a dummy interior inside it for the show with lED lights and a racing seat etc, so it looked real, but the 'glass' was too dark and you couldnt see st!
This car had the headlamp covers on it and looked better than the later wider version in my opinion.
The funny thing was that this car was supposed to go GT1 racing and never even had a sniff of the wind tunnell.

Another snippet of useless information is the the band the PRODIGY visited the factory, and they both put down deposits on these cars Im told...

Would have been a superb road car IMO

IIRC it had specially extended pedals so that she could reach them and the seat runners were altered so that in the furthest forward position it suited her and furthest back was for Lenny Henry.
