Chimaera to Cerbera
Discussion
I currently have a Chimaera 4.0 R Reg, and I'm now ready to try something a tad more brutal.
Looking at cars about £20K-23K, checked a few out and have just been to have a quick look at a Speed six Oyster Gold/magnolia T reg with 18500 miles on the clock, overall condition very good. Interior could do with tidying up a little ie leather coming away in places but all very clean. Had been part Exed against a BMW anybody's on here reg T918 JLD. As for the sound awesome
....
Overall looks fantastic.
Questions:
The engine is still the original, is this a good or bad thing for its year / mileage. Or is it more dependent on past history?
The carbon window uprights are flaking a little is this easy/cheap to tidy up or have repainted?
I can't wait to take it for a spin next week?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm still fairly new to TVR's only had Chimaera 7 months.

Thanks for the comments,
Is there anything vital I need to be looking out for, it has the upright sticker thingy on the VIN plate.
I had the same problem with my wife she thought the Cerbera looks like an old mans car
, but when she saw one up close and personal (car that is not old man) she soon changed her tune. do you find the two extra seats much use?
I wil also be using this as an everyday car and thats one reason why I'm keen on trying the Speed 6 apparantly a little smoother at slower speeds (not sure if this is the case though) and the sound seems to be slightly less rattly.
Ocean1 what mileage does yours currently have? and has this had a rebuild?
How do you find the servicing costs?

Thanks for that Ocean1 I have used Offord for my last service most impressed with service and price.
Hopefully I'm going back on Tuesday to take it for a drive and maybe make an offer. Last I spoke he offered me £16,500 and wouldn't budge on price of cerbie (£22,500 does this sound about right) but maybe with pound notes he may change his mind, there is also a 4.5 in Bristol I could be interested in, bit far to travel though, but could be worth it.
Doesn't look quite as good as the Speed 6 though.
