Not my car and not my picture but have to post it because it is a real beauty.



And this is mine:

That pretty much sums up why I love the Chimaera's design... Both pics taken from the angle that best suits the lines IMO.

Very well aware, and all credit to him. He's far from being the only TVR owner with such superb attention to detail.

Mine gets no attention under the bonnet apart from checking fluid levels and inspecting for leaks etc. Hence it looks like I have driven 100,000 miles around an industrial estate with the bonnet off. Or like any other 16 year old daily driver.

I will try to put matters right over the next two winters, by taking the body off, refurbing the chassis, refreshing the engine, full respray in a nicer colour, lupo light conversion, and sort out the carpets and curtains.

Number 1: 400 Ran as a company car 1996-1998



Number 2: 500, also a company car 1998-1999. One of the first with round rear lights, one of last with no PAS





Number 3: 500, this is the TVR that gives them the bad name. It was utter poo. Kept it for 6 months



Number 4: 500, the last company car.





After I had this pile of crap I vowed never to have another TVR



But, then made the error of dropping in to Fernhurst for a cuppa

Number 5: 450. Had it for 6 months because although lovely wasn't a 500!



Number 6: 500. Got it in 2004...still lovin' it!




So, nearly 20 years of ownership...still makes me laugh every time I start her up.

Which engine did you prefer out of the 400, 450 and 500?

Wheels look great, as does the car!

The rear tyres look a bit stretched, what width are they?
