So you've had a while to plan your next purchase. What would be the ideal car?
Presumably a Chimaera, but what size, year, colour etc?

[.mark]

Happy Hunting Mikey,
Just make sure the cash doesn't burn you too qiuckly, make a sensible and rational choice.
It took me 2 years to find exactly what I wanted (fussy git) but boy it was worth it!

[lovemytvr]

Good man!!

Get out and Buy,buy,buy!!

I want to see you posting "TVR owner 2002" as soon as possible!!

Best regards

I can already hear your Chimaera roaring...
Good effort ! Although I suppose you'll somewhat miss the Mussie.
Spring is only weeks away, go on... go on go on...

Antigua Blue Chimaera 450
MCC Smart Passion Grey with Bungee Red interior ;o)

Go Mikey!

I too was sad when I had to lose my 'stang, but they joy of TVR ownership soon dulled the pain!

Good on ur Mikey, it is sad to let a car go, but just think of all the test drives you can now take.

Hope you find the right one.

Thanks everyone!

Looking forward to joining you all in TVR ownership very soon.

Plotloss, if I was a bit richer, I'd have your new 'un and then you could buy that Cerbie you REALLY want

Stuart, preferred colour - some sort t of blue ideally. Interior - not that bothered really. Would like an oxblood leather but never seen one. Prefer the pre-facelift rear lights and the backlit no. plate to the angled one and the bigger lip on the boot .

As Cilla says ... the choice is YOURS!

Looks like I've arrived late to the party! Congrats mate...get out there and splash the cash NOW.

.Mark. How the hell can you spend 2 years looking for a TVR????? As soon as I had the dosh, I already pretty much knew which car to buy. Test drove 4 in 2 days and done the deal! 2 YEARS???? there's a fine line between fussy and anorak dude!

[Marshy]

Mikey, just as soon as you get your Chim, go out sometime late at night, to Hatfield of all places. Since it's late at night, you'll be able to enter the A1M tunnel at about 30mph in second. Wind down windows, floor throttle. Et voila, no regrets.

Let me know how long it takes for the grin to come off...

My kinda guy - the early cars do look better! So .... I guess you're looking for a car like mine then (see profile). Cosmos Blue is THE colour! (this one's not for sale though - sorry).

Well done one step closer then !!!! Just a couple of notes imho when I was looking for a 4.0l I drove the 96/97 cars and most of them had the old chassis and old brakes (i.e. pre griff chassis and normal 4.0l / 4.5L brakes) and found them a bit soggy ( and heavily prone to rust on the chassis) if you can stretch it make sure you look for one with the griff chassis and the 5.0L brakes I think it was late 97 on (but not one hundred percent sure) and make sure you get the TVR warranty i.e. main dealer or you can add it yourself for £540 per year from warranty holdings if you have the car inspected. Any way if now for the shameless plug mine is sadly for sale due to the arrival of a 5.0L and the betterhalf refuses to have both unless we get engaged !!!! so its got to go if you are in the camberley area looking give me a call
All the best

[rustoni]

Mikey - I am sure it won't be to long before you purchase your Chim....Console yourself with the fact that you are now at the ready to purchase stage and that I am having to put my purchase off for another Year

TVR Owner in 200?

[chimpboy]

Nice one, like everyone who reads this forum I've been following your quest for a Tiv for a while. Hopefully you'll get yourself a sorted one.

BTW, tunnels are great, the day I bought mine from a guy in Surrey I had to drive back to Cambridgeshire. It was a hot summers day so the roof was off about 500 yards down the road from the guys house. Anyway my route back took me thorugh the dartford tunnel, pure heaven

[kevinday]

MikeyT, Well done, keep us posted on the TVR hunting.

Yes Hazy you're right, perhaps I should quantify.
It wasn't 2 years constant looking, the odd weekend here and there, but we did know after a while exactly what we did and didn't want, you know PAS colours etc. Then there was the problem of getting to dealers only at weekends and then they were sold etc. So to say 2 years perhaps wasn't very fair, but I knew I would just know when I drove the right one and was prepared to wait.

Sold my beautiful 1966 Mustang GT convertible, and specifically accepted a move with my company from the US to Germany to buy a TVR. I am dedicated and looking forward to TVR ownership in 2002!

Cheers
