Tavarish, the seller converted KM to miles. 127,982 KM is 79,524 miles. Still though, a mega CP from me.

I might just get on the phone now to the emergency services, a certain $kaycog could be passed out at home...

I'm sorry, I just made the ugliest snorting noise in the world.

This thing is just soooooooooooooooooo pretty.

For MPH-ers, that’s 251.655 MPH.

The setting is Le Mans. The year is 1953. Driving partners Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a Jaguar C-Type.

Always had a soft spot for the C4. BECAUSE DIGITAL DASH

Good God, it looks like it’s been pinched.

This thing has raisable wheel spats. That alone makes it awesome.

I would say the same thing - isn’t the engine bay incredibly cramped in those?

I bet the owner’s balls are the same size as these.

Just a quirk.

Nah, Peter Wheeler took one for a test drive on the public road, came back with a big NOPE on his face. And yes, TVR’s dyno was rated at 1000hp so...

I volunteer to examine it!

I seem to remember it was pretty handy in the corners too...

Because the Speed 12 was a prototype. Loads of prototypes were built back then and lots of them were exceedingly fast. Also, I seem to recall the Speed 12 produced closer to 1000hp, enough to break the crank on TVR’s dyno.

Huh. I don’t think it looks too bad. It would be better if the grille was bit smaller...

Actually, it was also faster than a 993 Turbo.

Slang for launch.

Doesn't take much to scare Walter Rohrl. Except the CGT.
