That's no V8 John....
That is the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 and it had a 7.7L V12, which was basically two of it’s inline 6’s (used in other TVR models alone) put together. When TVR attempted to get an actual measure of the engine’s power on a dynamometer, it broke the input shaft. They wound up testing each bank of the engine separately. Each side read 480hp for a total output of 960hp in a car that weighed just over a ton.
As for the MG link, I'll have a look tonight if you don't figure it out.

OK I think I may have the MG link.
I think this is based on a MG TF.
The first photo is of Apa 'Super Sherpa' (born Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa), who is most famous for having reached the summit of Mount Everest 21 times.
The second photo is of a one off car, like the MG I'm thinking of.
Is the car we are searching for the unique 1954 MG TF Everest bodied by Ghia.
The car was sold in 2007 at which time the description read; The vehicle was rarely used by its first owner and later formed part of a museum collection where it has spent most of its life. This vehicle has covered just 6300 miles since being delivered new in 1954. Never restored and today still in its original condition.
