I heard over the weekend that the Speed 12 that supposedly had been sold to Japan never went.

According to the info I was given it's now been sold to a UK team and the engine boys in Blackpool are dusting down the V12 again (if they're not on strike).

I've no verification of any of this but there's usually a grain of truth in these rumours so the SP12 may not be dead yet.

Supercharged V12 anyone?

Yes, this is the racing car as opposed to the road car that was touted around the dealers.

The silver one was repainted red I believe.

Given the development of the speed 6 engine in the last 18 months, the V12 could have an extra lease of life and might squeeze more power out of the restricted motor...

My informant suggested that the engine(s) had been dragged out to be cleaned up. If a customer is willing to pay for it then you can bet your bottom dollar TVR will get to work on it.
