Every time I see that it makes me think more and more that it just doesn't look right!

The Chim with T350 front end looks good though

[Big Al.]

The way it reads is that it's a 5 ltr Chim, with a Tuscan front end, Or am I missing something? :0

[rs mexico]

V8 Tuscan sounds better than cocked up chim with dodgy front end

[dicky]

ohhh that is good..............cheered up my day think I made my point now

[UncleDave]

AFAIK it's had a few owners, and there are a few chims like that so some people must like it
Until they read PH and sell before anyone sees them

[gavstar]

At the risk of being flamed....am I the only one who actually thinks that looks OK? If TVR had actually produced it, would it get the same reaction? I don't think so.

T350/Chim Here...!



I don't care what anyone else says, that looks bloody great.

Not doing it for me i'm afraid, to me that looks like the Chinese version!!!

Whats wrong with the original Chim??!!!

[Wildfire]

I do like the T350 Chim, but it is a bit MR2 Mk3 esque and losese a bit of it's class. Isn't the Tuscan Chim done by a guy from PH or was that the Tuscan Griff?

It does make the old goat look very modern, an excellent piece of work! but is it just me or does she look very docile now? The original frog-eye chim look is still a menacing look. Just need some bull-bars at front and you're sorted!

No and No.
I like the look of both of these cars, although I can't quite get my head around the Tuscan version. I'm guessing thats because I know its wrong and my head is going 'does-not-compute' but I still like it.

The T350 version is brilliant. I've always been of the opinion the Chim looks bodged around the lights, like they couldn't figure out how to put lights into the wings and just hid the mess they made around the lights with the trim. The T350 version looks like it's natural next generation and so much neater.

Hear, hear. The front end of the Chim is already too busy, and those Tuscan lamp conversions usually just make it look even busier. The "T350" front looks a lot tidier - the wing line and the line across the front of the bonnet are much tider.

As for that purple thing on eBay; "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale" - hopefully someone burned it and put us out of our misery.

I have to say that i do quite like the Tuschim.

The t350 does look like a mr2 in that pic, but i'm sure it'll look better from other angles.

[landroverdan]

a lot of work has gone into that it must have been a right off at some stage and the uprights have been changed aswell to accept the 5 stud rims unless you can get spacers with diff stud pattens

[Phil Dicky]

Quite like them both to be honest especially the T350/Chim, but I'm often wrong be wouldn't find viewing both in the flesh

[Al 450]

Argoose's black Chim T350 is class, just looks right in a way the Tuschim doesn't.

p.s. Love the way the ebay seller has put " fibreglass body so no rust to worry about", yeah on the body maybe!
