TVR Chimaera 400

PAS

Macau Yellow. Flint Hide. Black Carpets.

T5 gearbox. Serp engine.

Only 26,000 miles from new.

This car is owned by our tech and he has recently completed a full body off restoration on the car.

He has just completed 1000 miles in the car to iron out any mechanical issues that may have arisen.

The good bits to follow, the only negative on the car is some areas of the bodywork are showing some signs of wear. She is perfectly presentable compared to most Chims around, but the bodywork certainly isn't is brilliant as the rest of the car. The front end has some stone chips, the door edges, and boot edges have some marks, and both mirrors have some marks. If you want a show car, we will happily have the car painted, and it will then be £19,999. However, if you want a car that's mechanically bang on, that you can use and enjoy, then this is the one for you. We can share a walk around video of the car.

The car drives very well indeed, as you would expect a 26,000 mile car to drive.

There is only a small amount of service history with the car, hence why the decision was taken to do the full works mechanically on this one.

Car is based at our Devon branch. Will be sold freshly serviced.
