Evidence would suggest a pigeonhawk.

And Goshawks live in Gosforth! Fact!

I was down picking up the Velocette from the Exhuast man on Saturday, and I passed this place
TR7 heaven.JPG
I missed it when I dropped the bike off.... never seen so many TR7s in one place (possibly never seen so many TR7s full stop!!).

TR7 / 8 specialists, unsurprisingly!! http://www.ss-preparations.co.uk/

The TR7 evokes memories of marshalling in Kielder Forest on the RAC Rally and watching Tony Pond leave nothing on the shelf - fantastic, sadly this is a rather tame picture but you can see more of the car than in the action shots: :)

On the back of your pic Mick, I watched a couple of youtube vids on the TR7 in Rallies.

From the 2014 Roger Albert Clark rally stage at Croft Autodrome this car flashed past.

Afraid to say rather than scurrying away and looking up what it is, cos I have to admit I couldnt name it off the top of my head other than "is is a talbot/chrysler something or other?", i sort of think you might know it straight away.

I couldn't think of a suitable car to celebrate my 800th post so I had to resort to DDG but it came up with the goods:
