Anyone been over to Castle's recently to look at the speed 12 in there. All I can say is 'OH MY GOD'. What an amazing machine!

Which one is it? Colour? and could you tell if it had an engine in it? Is it for sale or just show?

(end of questions as I was getting flashbacks to "Uncle Buck")

Did hear that, but nacnud saw it and had a chat to the guys about it, aparently the V12 wa prone to splitting in the V. , the one they had was plated W312 BHG which I imagion was the one TVR originaly had on W112 BHG. but I could be wrong.

Yes, the one at Castle's is the red road going 12 but does not have the engine in it.....

For all the guys at Mid Essex reading this...I DID try to get the 12 to the next meet (and you know how trying I can be ) but it is so low it needs a special trailer and whilst Ian would have bought it over to us, because of the trailer situation, it just isn't gonna happen!!!...

I hope to be able to get over and catch a glimpse of this car, cos it's supposed to be a real wow,

Perhaps one evening we could have a run out to it?.....

I saw this beast when my baby went in there last Saturday. Apparently it's been sold to some lucky bar steward.

I tell you what though?, I got in it (just about) and it's bloody scary. I'd tear the sh*t out of it if I had the chance and probably kill myself doing it!!!
