Liam Howlett used to own a white Speed12 with rear wing!
I've checked with a friend of mine who has seen it with his own eyes!
He does not have it anymore.

Keith from Prodigy had one on order that werent delivered.

And I'm certain the number is around 10 Speed12's, 3-4 of the "early" type and the rest with the far better look.

White speed12 with rear wing? Could that possibly be the one that appears in this Top Gear video: http://www.sleepy-fish.com/images/vi...2_Clarkson.mpg Which I believe was a race car and can be seen in full livery here: http://www.sleepy-fish.com/images/vi...n_Track_lo.wmv ???

the white one in the vid isn't the cerbera speed 12.
it is the slightly older 'plain' speed12.
i don't think they actually started the intended production run on them.
as such i think only the one (show car) was ever built.

what the prodigy boys ordered was the cerbera speed 12.

I've checked that speed12 thing with my friend again!

My friend is a DJ with close relations to the band "Faithless" from UK and he was at Liam's place on one occation.
He did not remember the car like the one I showed him in the TogGear vid.
I asked if it could be a Tuscan with wing and he said it was much more aggressive than a Tuscan in looks.
He's not a car nut so he did not notice enough detail to say if it was a plain speed12 or a Cerbera speed12.

He said it was quite dark when he saw it and it may have been silver instead of white.
But it definately had a huge rear wing, and it was a TVR!

He also said he was told it was a very rare car with v-12 and nearly 1000bhp....

it could be the silver cerbera speed 12 seen in some press shots
