'scuse me for being thick but I always thought it was said Kimera rather than Shimera? Have I always got this wrong? (I realise this is probably not the right place to admit to that... paperbag)

Nah, wasnt a TVR. Had the wrong type of hood, full fold down job not the two piece griff / chim one. It being Oz V8 engines are two a penny (some makers make V8 versions that dont get sold anywhere else) so it could be pretty much anything

It's pronounced KYMERA as in Kylie! As in the fire-breathing she-monster represented as having a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.

I'm so pleased that I'm not wrong about it... it would have been the first time I was wrong about anything and now my record remains unblemished!

That would be very strange, there are only a handful of TVR's in Australia. Although they did sell Chimera's officially for a short time.

I remember another time a few years ago I saw an advert for neighbours, which interested me only because it had a drag race featured and one of the guys was driving an 80s Camaro IROC-Z, again an unusual car in Australia (other car was an R33 Skyline, which is a typical car for that sort of thing). It think neighbours is set in Victoria, and both kids would have been p platers, so it would have been illegal to own a car that powerful anyway.
