102,000 miles (17,000 in last 15 years)

Offered for sale after 15 years of careful ownership, this Chimaera 4.0 has been extensively refurbished, sympathetically upgraded, and fastidiously maintained. If you’re looking for a well-sorted example with the important work done, this is it.

The car underwent a major refurbishment in 2015–16, addressing everything from interior comfort to chassis and engine integrity.
