1999 TVR CHIMAERA

I have owned this car for 13 years,during which time it has always been kept in a secure,dry garage and SORN over winter months. It’s as original as possible except for some improved parts which I think were necessary ( stainless steel braided brake hoses,Mintex brake pads,upgraded power steering hoses,ACT air K & N induction kit etc ).

There is a full A4 lever arch file of history which myself and the 4 previous owners have collated over its 27yr old life,there’s simply too much to list what’s been spent,but the condition of the car reflects that each owner has looked after it.

All MOT’s are present to confirm mileage.

If you do decide to come and view the car then ( without being rude ) will need to show fully comprehensive insurance if you want to drive it….am sure you will understand that if you’re a serious potential buyer.

Below is a summary of the car.

A beautifully presented and well-maintained TVR Chimaera 4.0 finished in stunning Starmist Blue with a contrasting cream leather interior — one of the most desirable colour combinations available.

With just 32,817 miles, this is a genuine low-mileage example that has clearly been cared for and properly maintained throughout its life.
