My 8 year old son wants one so he can pretend he got his mits on mine already.

Apparently he is going to keep the TVR when I die - good to know eh...

Try contacting SMTS - they recently did a run of TVR Griffiths, might have some left over. You can either buy the kit or they will also paint and assemble them to your requirements

I'd try St Martins Models, Grand Prix Models then Amazon and Ebay.

Hi FF Man, I highly recommend SMTS Models, that have the moulds for both the precept and 500. I had a bespoke model of my 4.3 Precat made, they matched the colour, interior and the Gotti style wheels! I sent them several photos for them to do it. Not cheap but a cracking model. Give them a call. All the best, Pete

You know what FF, if you were to commission a run of these, I would be interested in a 500 model.... Pete

You expect us to believe that? tongue out

Come on, FFman admit it, you want one!

Funnily enough I've been looking for a Chimaera model but all I can find are 1/48 scale.

I thought we all have one in matching paint work on display in our living rooms.





The boss draw the line at a Rover V8 coffee table.

My model was a present (that’s my excuse) but looks like it was done at the same place as PeteGriff’s, the attention to detail and paint finish are better than the TVR factory finish.

Now you can see why my nick name is Steve Sprint, the good old happy days!!!

Can you spot the difference in the two Eibach springs? they actually have the same part number.
