Chimaera 500 reg S82 APA

Does anyone know/owned this car?

It is blue with magnolia interior. Serviced by Walldonway in Maidstone. I am looking at it tomorrow for a potential purchase.

Also may be under the reg S333 ADE (current private plate)

Anyone know any history that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance
Jim

Give Walldonway a ring. Mine had been serviced by Mole Valley, gave them a ring before I brought it, very helpful, pulled it up on the computer and went through all the work they had done

Hi Spid

Done that. They say that apart from a few electrical niggles (hey, what's new on a TVR?!) it all looks OK. Just wondering if anyone knew anything else!!!

Cheers
Jim

Panicked me for a moment there! The plate is one digit different from mine, had to go outside and check my registration

Looking at the weather you will find out if it leaks

God it was in a shocking state.

It needs a new roof, almost a total respray, leather looks like my 94 yr old granny's face, stitching is coming away all over, carpet lining in the boot is all knackered.

What a mess, and a sad and neglected looking car. Odd that on Autotrader he says it's in "stunning condition". Hate to see what he thinks a scruffy car looks like.

He wants £17.4k for it (S reg, 27k miles)and says he is not prepared to go below £17k. But it probably needs £4k doing on it just to make it look nice, let alone the mechanical side of things and has not been serviced since August 02, and is 1000 miles overdue on a service.

Maybe if he still hasn't sold it in 3 months and you could snap it up for £15 it MIGHT be a bargain, but I doubt it.

Oh well. You have to look at these things, don't you.

Better luck with the next one
