TVR Chimaera 500

PAS. 1 Owner.

Cobalt Blue with Magnolia hide and Navy Blue carpets.

79,000 miles from new.

Being sold on behalf of its current owners.

A pampered car, well known local club members owning it from new.

Various upgrades which will make this a fabulous buy for someone. Only being sold due to ill health.

Finished in stunning Cobalt Blue, with magnolia hide, navy blue carpets and hood.

This example features SP12 alloys, ACT induction, ACT silicone hoses, uprated aluminium radiator, recent Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs. The car has just come out of TVRSSW having had a 12k service and a clean MOT, so raring to go for its new keeper. This example also comes with a very tidy tonneau cover, which was a bespoke item fitted new by Fernhurst.

The condition of the car is very good, the paint has one or two stone chips to the front end, but generally very good. The door edges, and boot edges are both very very clean. The hood is in excellent order, having recently had a re cover, but the rear part and the targa panel are a slightly different shade of navy blue....being picky.

The wheels are also free from marks, and are shod in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres.

The interior follows a similar pattern, not concourse, but very tidy. The leather is good, with no rips or tears, just a perfectly acceptable amount of patina. The carpets have some very small areas of fading, as all navy ones seem to suffer from. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a MOMO wooden item. Leven stalks are present. The only area for possible improvement in the near future would be the dash, which has a couple of minor cracks to the veneer.

Outriggers replaced by Fernhurst, and the chassis is in good order, having been regularly inspected and waxoyled by TVRSSW.

The service history is extensive, with paperwork going back to new.

Delivered to Ken and Dana on the 1st May 1997 by Fernhurst TVR.

As mentioned above, this is a genuine 1 owner car, and Ken and Dana are gutted to be selling. The logbook states 3 owners total, as the car was originally registered to his company JKH Developments, and then into his name, and now his wife's name, but it is a genuine 1 owner car, which all the service paperwork confirms.

This is a cracking car, lovingly maintained, and used regularly, and all the better for it. It drives so well, and offers a very well priced way of getting into a 5 Litre Chim.

Based at our Devon address. Supplied with 2 keys, original black handbook, and a huge history file.
