Not quite Jonas, but the wheels are almost identical. The rear spoiler looked like one of the spoilers I've seen on Japanese TRs (in the Japanese magazine Ross). Matched color to the body (in this case red), and the mounting points for the spoiler were in the center of the spoiler, not on both ends.

Also the one in Celebrities Uncensored had the side strakes.

Forgot about the wheels....they weren't the 512M wheels nor where they TR wheels (512 or regular TR). They were five star wheels, but that's about it. Not stock for sure/.

You sure it wasn't the Coyote, from "Hardcastle and McCormick"?

You might want to compare it to the pictures of modified TRs on the Koenig site, http://www.koenig-specials.com/

Okay, it's a dumb show (guilty pleasure) but yesterdays episode, in one seen where people (I think it was Paris Hilton) were headed to a party in Los Angeles, parked on the street was what looked like a 512M.

Now, why would I or anyone care? I'm curious if anyone knows if what I saw was a 512M, a modified TR, or even possibly a Koenig car. Thanks to TiVo I can slow motion and see bits of the car (blocked by unruly stars!).

The front has the exposed headlights, and the front spoiler is painted. On the fender is a Ferrari shield. It also appears the side strakes are still present. but on the back of the car, there is what appears to be a big spoiler off the rear deck.

Anyone seen this car around Los Angeles? Is this an M or a modified TR? Just curious...
