I refuse to bid until someone tells me what a 'pisoso' is.

"Mini TVR Chimaera Style Replica" Anyone got the number for Trading Standards?

It looks almost exactly how I'd imagine the aftermath of an abortion to look like. But unlike the abortion, I'm sure someone out there will love it just the same. Each to their own I suppose!

But seriously, £3500??!!!! For £1000 more (after negotiating) you could have a real one!! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/4141515.htm

I'm still left wondering what part of that car the seller thinks refers in even a passing way to a Chimaera. I could have sort of understood 'TVR S'(headlights, door shutlines), although that still makes it a 'replica' in the way you'd call that abortion that did the rounds here a few years ago (seasoned PH readers will know what I mean) was a McLaren F1 replica...

I think that is the first time I've heard anybody describe an Oynx as TVR Chimaera replica, there based on a Fiat uno!!! I even admit to knowing somebody who has built one with an uno turbo engine

Onyx Firefly in google images brings up that photo on another forum in 2006, it's a Panda underneath and that car has a Punto engine.

Shame a decent little kit from the early '90s is getting a slating because someone advertised it comparing it to a Chimaera. confused
