Looking for a chimaera project...

[crosseyedlion]

Hi all,

I've decided the time has come to go racing, and it has to be TVR's. Currently on the hunt for a Chimaera to prepare, the ropier the better (so long as the core of the chassis is ok). If anyone has any leads let me know. Doesn't have to be roadworthy.

There's a nice big space in my garage waiting to be filled! But if I can't find something soon I'll miss the start of the season.

Oh theres no way I'll buy a car off that Glen chap...

Its frustrating that TVR write offs don't seem to end up anywhere else.

In fairness, the OP on that thread never came back with a response on the outcome. The French lad came as good as saying driver error caused the crash.

For a lot of trader bashing, you have to admit there is scant evidence to support it in a newcomers view...

Normally yes, but I've never heard anything positive about them and numerous stories with reasons why I wouldn't like to deal with them. Not just keyboard warriors either...

Thanks but considering everything I can see in that image would be getting binned or rebuilt thats veeerrrrryyyy steep for what I'm looking for.

Call off the search! I've just got it - drove 150 miles in it today and loved every moment.

Work starts on saturday wink

If anyone wants any roof or interior bits, fuel tank, pas system (pump, rack and pipework), a set of wheels with what looks like new tyres- let me know...

[crosseyedlion]

Ill get back to you, the whole kit or just the rack?

I'm not sure if I want to keep it now.

Would there be a non-pas rack in exchange? :P

Great news, I'd be interested in the roof. I want to cut one in half!

Good news guys, I found out why it rode so well on the weekend.

Looks like theres a set of fairly recent protech shocks on the front.

A fair bit older but nice riding Bilsteins on the back.

They'll be coming off, Nitrons going on

Also, a pretty much new dark blue carpet set!

This wasn't such a bad buy...

Hi,

I would be interested in the courtesy light relay, exhaust pan if you don't want it to. And if you have Estorils, a 16" one.
