Chimaera history search
Discussion
Bruce Lawrance from South Australia. I purchased a 1995 Chimarea 400 in February 2016.
I am trying to trace the history of my car in England.
The car was a personal import into Australia in May 2007.
Reg. No. in owners handbook is N947FLCbut this changed at some stage to 496LMG.
The car had its first service at The TVR Centre in August 1995 ( 20 miles )
Bespoke engineering had three phone numbers for a previous owner when they serviced the car in 2003/2004. The phone numbers they had did not answer or were out of service.
Hoping some one can help with some of the cars history and previous life in England.
As far as I know my car is the only Chimarea on the road in South Australia.
Regards
Bruce Lawrance

This was about the time that the MoT database for cars was started, so no previous records available.

Ten years on you'll struggle to find the same businesses with the same mechanics and databases unfortunately.
You could ask the tvrcc if they know anything, or start another thread here with the reg numbers in the thread title and a pic or two of the car to see if it sparks any memories.
