Speed 12 confirmed, but who's the co-driver?

That reminds me, what's happened to Rob Barff...?

More likely the Speed 12...?

Thom, read the blurb in www.pistonheads.com/tvr/cerbera

It explains (allbeit not in great technical detail!) shy the Speed 12 is more suited to the racing. It's mainly to do with the breathing of the engine. It was tried in the Colin Blower run car but the AJP8 can't produce the sort of power needed in the GT class.

channel 4 have covered it for the last couple of years. I'm presuming they're doing the same again this year although I've not seen it mentioned yet.

Influence? That'll be the day!

Actually, a little birdy tells me that the car is in fact being repainted Chameleon Purple.

Excellent news!

Not sure TVR have done much in the way of glossies for the Speed 12. You may be able to get some postcards - one of the collectors will be able to tell you.
