George,
I think I bought your old chimaera, did you part ex it at Henley Heritage? If so it is running very nicely, thanks for looking after it!

Hi Nick,

You travelled a few miles to get it from Warwickshire!
If it's Ocean Haze & M reg it probably is - the milage sounds about right. I just hope the newer one will be as sorted (eventually)

Happy motoring

George

Thats the one, lovely car, and just within my price range. Do you know if has ever had an engine rebuild or is it all original?

Nick,

As far as I know its had no major work. Just a new clutch and front shocks early this year. I had it from 72K to about 88K miles over 2.5 years with no problems. Then I weakened and bought the 500!. The newer car has been far less reliable in the 3 months or so I've had it (still wouldn't swap it though)

Upgraded to a 2000 Chimaera 500 - Imperial Blue with portland grey/prussian blue interior plus a/c, heated seats etc etc. Five years of evolution and a little quicker!!
