Cerbera with Project 12/7 front?
Discussion
Interesting. I'd like to see the result of that. The only concern I have is that the wings on the 12/7 were much deeper than those of the Cerbera allowing those wide sloping lights and giant 'mouth'. Might need a fair bit of re-designing to fit a Cerbie which is much more slender, but it sounds like a cool project...!
The thing is, I have to get my arches widened on the next stage of the project anyway, so I figured - why not... and, shes already the same colour as the original concept - so should look pretty good...
Dont know about the rear though, I love the original 12/7 rear - but i wander how extensive the changes would be on the rear... because the bootlid will have to be re-done too.... I think I'll just take the pictures of the rear and and front and put them down and say - "when I come back, she should look like this"...

yeah was white on the video, TVR changed it's colour, was purple at one point .. is the spare body still above the engine shop at bristol avenue? .. you thought about making an offer on that ash!? ..
I think it was 7.7 litre if my memory serves correctly ..

I guess we're not talking about the blue Speed 12 in the Brit Gt Chmp' - are we ?
Any pictures around of Project 12/7 ?

Mmmm, sounds interesting, but the sizes will be different, I have to get a custom job done me thinks...
I believe the door line on the skirts can still be flowed through with this design...
The main aim is to not only look good - but to also be as close to aircraft grade aerodynamic (of course with a flipped spoiler, aint looking at taking off just yet hehe) - I want to cut through the air like a teflon coated hot knife through a block of butter....

Too max power???? ever thought of maybe broadening your mind... the 12/7 shape is one of the most amazing cocktails to have come out of the factory - we're talking freakin Bugatti slamming material - not max power - 
Just my opinion, you did ask. Sorry if you do not agree.

What an amazing looking machine ! Don't understand why I don't remember this. I do remember the blue Speed 12 though - same chassis ?
Top pic looks as though the car has a wry smile as it slowly devours McKellan Junior - just shoulders & head to go.
2nd pic - that's a Tuscan Challenge car to its right isn't it. If so, what was going on, is this a test day ahead of a Tuscan Challenge, British GT meet ?

No need to be sorry bud - its a free world - just doesnt make sense to slate this as max powerish (I gather that is the lowest form of appreciation for anything) - what would be helpful - what exactly is it about this look that puts you off it? Maybe I can consider things in the end design so that it asthetically glows TVR...
