I had a flashback and decided to do a google.
When I was younger, every year I'd get the latest copy of Observers book of cars.
There would always be a few wierdo cars that would pop up. One of them that intrigued me was the Rapport Ritz. A top end sporty luxury saloon with Rolls Royce standard interior.
Well, after looking into it I was a little disappointed to find out it was only a Honda Accord 1600, albeit tarted up and a turbo attached.



They also did a few more cars, including the first Range Rover Evoque convertible and the first Range Rover 5-dr Vogue SE.

Yes I do because my Dad was very into Range Rovers, I remember going to Wood & Pickett with him and seeing convertibles, 4 doors, 6 wheelers etc

Were these guys on Park Lane or did I just imagine it when I was 10? :-)

Yes, I did some checking, they were from Park Lane, they traded under the name of Rapport Park Lane limited,
they started up in February 1979 but dissolved in October 2007.
