2000 TVR Chimaera 500

After 5 fantastic years I’ve decided its time for someone else to enjoy my TVR Chimaera 500.

Its got a huge history file and has had a lot of money spent in the last 5 years to get it to where it is today.

Some may have seen it on the TVR stand at the NEC a couple of years ago with the mini TVR sat next to it

The Basics:

2000 W Reg Mk2.5 Chimaera 500 in Imperial Blue with Portland and Navy Leather

102500 Miles

18” TVR Spider Alloys wrapped in Michelin SuperSport Tyres

Air Conditioning

Heated Cerbera Seats

Power Steering

Remote Boot Release

LED Headlights – Can actually see where you are going

Reverse Camera

Since I’ve owned it I have given the chassis a full going over (Very good condition including outriggers) and Lanoguarded it every year

Given the paint a full refresh – Bonnet showing a few marks and stone chips now but very prersentable

Fitted the genuine TVR 5 stud hub upgrade to take the 18” Spiders

Had tubular front curved lower wishbones fitted and full geo done by Matt Smith (again for the 18” wheels)

Fitted Clive Ford GT Manifolds with the sports cat downpipe (DeCat also available)

Relocated the Battery to the boot and fuse box to behind the passenger seat

Installed Stainless Coolant pipes in the passenger footwell

Proper Hot start mod installed (Never not starts in any temp)

Installed Pioneer Flip Out screen with Apple CarPlay and Reverse Camera

Upgraded the seats to late Chimaera spec (Cerbera seats) with twin carbon heating elements and lumbar (Had some foam removed from bases so they sit at the correct height)

Retrimmed the steering wheel to make it a little fatter and added contrast blue stitch

There is probably more I just cant think of it.

Service history is below and it has its original leather folder and two keys with several fobs etc
