Power on - Power off the Chimaera has started to pulling this way and that, it's like trying to hold onto that bloody Emu a comedien used to ride around on on TV, it pulls to the right under power, then when the loud pedal is depressed it veers to the left tracking has been looked at and is spot on, I'm thinking rear wheel bearing or bushes maybe, so as becoming a little like rear wheel steering? duno, any thoughts?

had exactly this on an old herald a few years ago where one of the rear outriggers (the one with the suspension tie bar attached to it) had come away from the chassis....

Sorry...... no experience closer than that I'm afraid.....

My Griff used to do this before the suspension bushes were replaced.

Yup, something is "undone" somewhere in your geometry either through wear or breakage. Needs early attention at this time of year with slippery roads, 300+ bhp, no antilock brakes etc etc.
