Cars like this don’t come to the market often! This chimaera benefits from been one of the last 500’s made and is one of the cleanest most high spec cars currently available. In 2014 the engine was rebuilt by V8developments and upgraded to a 5.4 litre Dominator which includes Top Hat Liners, Forged Pistons and H-Beam steel rods. The engine is fully lightened and dynamically balanced with a cross drilled crankshaft for extra oil flow. With a long list of other performance modifications to Include;
Megasquirt2 ECU and uprated injectors
Steel Flywheel
Performance Clutch
Upgraded 3-piece induction Kit
ACT Performance manifolds refinished by Camcoat internally and externally
ACT cat back Exhaust
Alloy Radiator
New water and oil pump
New Alternator
Ceramic Leads
The engine has been worked by Joules @ Kits & Classics and is running a safe 345WHP with 410 ft lb of torque, make no mistake weighing only 1200kg, this car is Very Quick!
The car had a body off chassis refurb in 2018 by Steve Darville @ SDAutotec. New outriggers were fitted with the chassis zinc primed and re finished in Graphite powder coat, complimenting the black, purple and chrome within the engine bay! All ancillary items were replaced during the rebuild incl;
New Fuel lines
New Bushes throughout
Stainless steel bolts
Reconditioned Steering Rack
The list is endless, genuinely no expense has been spared, the engine bay is immaculate with all parts powder coated, with new heat shielding to the tub and underside of the bonnet incl carbon accents.
Other Upgrades Include;
Gaz Monotube Suspension
TVR Tuscan S front calipers with drilled/vented discs
Braided full stainless Brake hoses
SP12 Wheel Rims 17x7 at the front 18x8 at the rear wrapped in Vredestein Ultrac Satin tyres
Lupo Headlight conversion with Led bulbs
New Genuine TVR front windscreen fitted 2018
Internally the car is finished in Magnolia and Prussian blue leather, with wood trim around the dials showing no signs of wear. Leven instruments throughout compliment the cabin area including a refinished steering wheel in Prussian blue perforated leather. Upgraded Pioneer Head unit and speakers, incorporating hands free phone connection and Bluetooth for streaming music.
This car has been my pride and joy and has wanted for nothing. It is garaged and Sorn’d through the winter months. The History is extensive and I have everything documented with a total spend on upgrades and maintenance nearing £40k! I have seen many other chimaera’s, I can honestly say this has to be one of the cleanest and highest specified out there.
