Bank manager says no.

Doesn't anyone else think it's a bit sad that a car as important as the Speed 12 ends up being flogged on eBay?

There was such mystery about the owner this just seems like a strange move.

Is it the lack of any possible factory support that has forced the sale?

No real mystery about the owner, he is amongst us and seemingly happy to chat about the car.

I was lucky enough to meet the owner at BH2006, and was told he was offered money then to sell the car, but declined.

I got the impression that he was a true TVR fanatic, maybe it is the factory moving, then again maybe it's other circumstance forcing him to sell. Guess we will never know the real reason.

Either way it will be sad day if it leaves the country to end up in some rich mans collection never seeing the light of day again.

100,000 people donate £1 each, we keep it in blighty, right who's going to set this up then!!!

Walk up to bar where beautiful blonde sits...
"Hi"
"Hi"
"I've got my car outside, fancy a spin?"
"Oooo (fluttering eyes) yes please"
"Hurry up then, because based on my share i've only got about 7 minutes left to drive it this year"

[TVRED]

7mins for £1 were do i send the cash ?

More like the wife says no! She's before you get to ask the Bank Manager, and if you're not married then your Mum says no instead!

[tvr_Edd]

I'd go halves with someone seriously

TVR Edd

Do you mean 50pence each or halves on the speed 12??

John

[PetrolTed]

A starting price of £99K is unlikely to get things going I suspect.

[tvr_Edd]

I mean half on the car.......dependant on price the owner wants of course and if i could find a partner with terms we agreed on.
Only downside i see right now is a don't like red

I would probably sell my cerb to help fund it but i wouldn't care
