I've watched a couple of old Top Gear programmes in the last few days, one was the episode where they cut the roof off a Renault Espace to create a convertible, and I clocked a Chimaera in one of the shots, the other one was where Clarkson mullered an old Mercedes S class pouring concrete in it to tile the floor and fit a wood burner and armchairs. In the second one the workshop/shed was packed with TVR's, and in one shot a Cerbera with the registration 60DT was clearly visible.

Anyone know where these episodes might have been shot?

I think they were from around 2005, and I'm sure there's been posts here about this before!

Sounds like Steve's place over Oxford way, works on a lot of TVR's and also did crazy conversions for Topgear

It was Steve Howard's old workshop in High Wycombe.

It was steve Howard's place originally in sands in high Wycombe before he moved. He used to look after my cerbera in 2006/7 for me. You may remember the stretch limo MG top gear built. Well steve was supposed to have my car ready for a sprint and was focused on building that bloody mg so when I arrived one day to check on progress I. ended up helping fit the body panels to the mg so that he could get onto my cerb!
