I know that Stratstone in Houghton have a V12 one as a demo car, a friend of mine took his car in for servicing there and they gave him a go in the Rapide for a bit, it could well be their car doing the rounds.
Green TVR Chimera, (I think) on an L reg heading up onto the A1 north bound from Chester Le Street around 3pm this afternoon with the roof down. Made a nice little rumble as it went past too.
Ok it's only a Honda Civic but I think it was a Mugen RR FD2 over Teesside Park today. It was coming in as I was going out so couldn't tell exactly. Looked fantastic for a Honda!
(It was probably just a standard FD2 Type R import actually)
