Hi

I have done some research and looking at buying a Griffith or a Chimaera, all of my questions I have sorted now thanks to Pistonheads smile , except this one. I know that most spares are easy enough to come by either working out who the original OEM is Citroen / Ford /Rover etc or speaking to specialists, I know that there are some mod’d/different spec parts out there as well but they are all still available?

My main question is before we commit to buy what parts/spares can not be bought now that TVR is no longer? The area that springs to my mind is body work etc, can it be repaired/re made even if I have nasty knock?

This is just worst case scenario, eyes wide open and all that,

thanks for your help

Alex

Hi Alex , I can make a complete body for a Griff and most of the shell of a Chimeara (along with some of my competitors).

Yes , that would be a good upgrade , unfortunatley a lot of chims were only fitted with the girlie version of the griff engine
