Hi.

Sadly I am finally getting round to listing my 1999 TVR Chimaera. She's a 400 and I've had her since new.

However, I'm concerned about test pilots just wanting to drive such a special car, especially with the risk of someone not used to the power and handling introducing it to a static object such as a kerb, tree or power pole.

Any tips or suggestions on how to deter and weed out time wasters?

Cheers in advance
Richard

With the greatest of respect Zaphod a 15 year old $40k TVR Chimaera is unlikely to attract anyone other than those enthusiasts in the know about such cars so I doubt you'll be attracting hordes of penniless teenagers arriving in battered Subaru's.

Good luck with your sale smile
Yep, cheddar, you are right. So far my fears have been unfounded, only had enquiries from those "in the know"!
