I know it's been done before, but I now have the money available and just need some impetus either way on these gorgeous cars.

Griff or Chim?

The Griff takes an early lead. Scary stuff....
Shall I make my decision based on the result after 50 posts?

Being a first time TVR owner (Tuscan) and having loaned both Griff and Chimp courtesy cars while mine has been having engine rebuilds I would go for the Chimp IMO

I gotta say, IMHO the back end of the Griff is a bit unfinished, but I prefer the Griff front.

If you could get the front of a Griff with the back of a Chim, then that would be ideal.

Of course, bringing it up to date, the front of a T350C with the back of a Tuscan, and the AJP8 engine, would be even more ideal

Toss a double sided coin. Heads = Griff, Tails = Griff.

Chim. Obviously. Especially if you play golf!

given that the chimaera is much more raw than the average sports car, I reckon its down to personal taste in terms of styling both inside and out.

and I reckon the chimaera interior is better if for just one reason: I always like it when tvr newbies get in and close the door to my chimaera. Then spend about 10 minutes figuring out how to open the door Also appearing at the birmingham motorshow (the griff seems more obvious)
