Back again, but who to ask?

Hi, a few of you might remember me, I have popped in a few times now inquiring about the road going TVR Cerbera Speed 12 because I was building it for the PC game Need for Speed 4. I finished the car a while ago but a new program I have allows me to import images as a background so I can model the car accurately. Now the car is built, If I have a good image, I can allign the car properly and make it totally accurate.
The best type of image is an orthogonal which has a front, side and top view, this makes editing easy and accurate. I have looked high and low but even normal images of the road going Speed 12 are hard to come across. I thought that I would try my luck with actually e-mailing TVR and seing if they would know where I could get my hands on atleast a descent scaled front and side image of the car.
I doubt I will get a response but hey, its worth a try. If anyone else can help or knows who could or where to email, please let me know. Thanks again,
Rowan.

icamm, I believe you are also thinking of the original speed 12. I have put these pics up to show people which model I am looking for.
PROJECT 7/12.... the very first concept of the car. It was a non functioning mock-up of the car TVR planned to produce. This exact car now sits in a caryard in pieces.
SPEED 12...... The concept of the original 7/12 car revised. There were only one of these made and a second one was used for racing, it was seen in white with blue racing in the BGTC.
CERBERA SPEED 12...... After the Speed 12 was baned form racing in the BGTC, TVR went about building this car to suit the new platform of rules set by the BGTC. Based on the Cerbera, only a a few were ever built, it is estimated that 2 roadcars and 2 race cars were ever made.
The cherry red Cerbera Speed 12 (possibly the silver one pictured above repainted) is currently for sale at Racing Green. Seen here - www.pistonheads.com/tvr/default.asp?storyId=5921
These are the 3 evolutions of the TVR Speed 12 that began life as the Project 7/12 and finished as the Cerbera Speed 12

Have you checked here: www.sleepy-fish.com/cerbera.htm to see if there is anything appropriate?
As an aside the images look good, but the scale seems a little off when compared to the pumps - I was under the impression that the 12 was a BIG car.
Keep up the good work

Manginger - Thanks for the website, had a few awesome pics! The car has been scaled against other cars in game, Its just that they are really big pumps 
Cerb2004 - I'm not sure if it was actually banned, The way I understood it was that the BGTC realised that when TVR had a few more races under their belt, they would obliterate everything else on the race track so insted they changed the rules which made the car ineligable to continue racing. Thus the Cerbera Speed 12 was born.
Thanks again for all your continued help.
