Alfa has sensationally pulled out of May"s British Motor Show, citing a lack of funds. Despite the marque having been at the Geneva expo earlier this month, a spokeswoman told us: "A show stand costs hundreds of thousands, and this year we"re targeting other events." One of those will be the Donington round of the European Touring Car Championship, of which Alfa is the current defending champion. A spokesman for the British Motor Show organiser said: "We are disappointed."

Comprehensive listings include up to 70 individual photos, and you need only pay a ?100 deposit to secure the vehicle of your choice.

A company spokesman said: "It"s something that could happen. If there is enough interest in one, we will probably do it."

These pictures show two options for the TVR bike, produced by one of the firm"s ex-designers, Glynn Kerr. The red one is a high-performance rival to another British machine, the Triumph 955, and the legendary Honda Fireblade. In order to compete, the TVR would require a power output of more than 150bhp, a 0-60mph sprint time of around three seconds and a maximum speed in excess of 160mph.

But while a superbike is most in keeping with TVR"s image, an unfaired urban machine could be a possibility, too. These types of motorcycle are increasing in popularity, as their engines" mix of a large capacity and a high torque figure are great around town.
