At the Tuscan races he either turns up in a green Cerbera or I think a Range Rover(?).

I think at one point he had a TVR V8-engined Ford Sierra Estate.

Claire (Gaffer) would probably be best able to answer the question.

He drives whatever the hell he likes.

I read an interview where he said that any prototype that was roadworthy might be pressed into service and that he used a speed 12 for a while and based his decision that it was too mad to sell for the public road on his experiences.
eg driving through towns holding the door open because the heat build-up was intense

I've visited the factory a number of times, and I've seen a variety of Tivs in his parking space....one of the benefits owning the company!

That was Dads, it had Colin Blowers old Tuscan race engine in it or did you mean the silver one with some prototype in it...?

PW has a black cerbie, green cerbie, orange tuscan, tuscan r, ex-police rangie and whatever else is going spare at the factory.
