Simply stunning. I think this sums this car up perfectly

I'm off to Supercar Fest, was ridiculously excited to see that on the auction list. Sod the newer exotica, that's going to be the first thing I seek out. If I win the Euromillions jackpot between now and then it'll be coming home with me too.

Surely a brave pill to end all brave pills.

850 bhp in a TVR. What could possibly go wrong!?!

Maybe a stupid question, but why don't the wheel arches fit the wheels?

Or right... Am I right?!

I kid... I've never owned or driven a TVR. I feel like I'm missing out.

There was a GT support race for the F1 one year at Silverstone and the Speed 12 was in it, think it was Silver.

Must have been more than 20 years ago but its etched in to my mind as it made almost every other car in the event look pedestrian on the straights.....

lovely. But I'd prefer the original ‘Project 7/12’ bodywork.

If I could afford the car sure I could afford some fibreglass mods.

Absolutely love this, far more exciting to me than any hypercar on sale today

They are such a great experience to drive I reckon. They also manage to be enjoyable at 30mph or 130mph, and not many cars seem to achieve that for me.

Is that a TVR 850bhp or dyno'd?

I had a 4.5 Cerbera. It was 'interesting' in handling department.

Hammer price estimations? I'm going £400,000.

It's a road car, so due to the suspension I guess and air between tyre and bodywork, if they fitted where would any travel go? There's barely anything above the arch.
