Description

Cooper Green metallic, complimented by magnolia leather upholstery, green dashtop & carpets. The Chimaera is HPI/Experian clear and MOTd until March 2015.
The Chimaera has covered a very low mileage since being fitted with a brand new, factory-supplied chassis at Barnet's 'TVR Centre' in Hertfordshire. The accompanying invoice shows a cost of £4,500 paid for this procedure and also includes a replacement clutch & flywheel. Since the chassis was replaced the car has been stored in a dry garage and used only in dry conditions therefore, the chassis remains in as-new condition as can be seen from the photos taken on 20/08/14 at MDL Cars, Telford.
The Chimaera benefits from a mammoth service portfolio, comprising a vast array of invoices for works conducted at TVR main dealers & specialists throughout the car's life and which amount to many, many thousands of pounds. Numerous previous MOT certificates are also included.
Pre-listing works on the vehicle include the following;
• full professional safety inspection
• oil & filter change
• 8* replacement spark plugs
• 8* replacement plug leads
• replacement air flow meter - genuine Land Rover item
• replacement crank case breather
• replacement ECU engine coolant temperature sensor
• 8* professionally reconditioned fuel injectors
Specification includes;
• electric windows
• remote central locking
• Thatcham approved Toad alarm/immobiliser system - certificate present
• convertible soft top with removable roof panel - boot stored
• original owners handbook present
• Rovergauge software with diagnostic USB cable
Overall, the Chimaera is in very good condition throughout. There are some areas which will benefit from minor cosmetic improvement due to age-related wear and tear. The bonnet and nose area suffered very light, cosmetic damage when the previous owner started the car in-gear in his garage. The damage can be easily repaired by a bodyshop and will provide an opportunity to tidy the usual stone chips found on the nose area of these cars at the same time.
In summary, this Chimaera offers a terrific entry into TVR ownership, as the main Achilles heel of these awesome sports cars - rotting/rotten outriggers and chassis - has been replaced at great cost. With routine care the chassis will not require costly repair or replacement again. Elsewhere, the vehicle has been meticulously maintained and enjoys a terrific service history. The car drives and performs superbly, sounds incredible and is ready to be enjoyed 'as-is,' with scope for gradual improvement if desired by its new owner.
