My new purchase, TVR Chimaera

[Speedracer329]

I just couldn't help myself & got this from a nice guy who did a hell of a lot of work to her before being distracted by a Tuscan!!!

Slightly jealous..

Nice. I'll give you a wave if I see you in the area!

looks sexy

To think that design is 17/18 years old...

It would still look fresh and relevant if it was released today.

Off to the classified I go...



Again...

Agreed. The only possible negative is that there is too much body behind the rear wheel. Bloody cracking looking cars, like pretty much every TVR ever produced.

[wackojacko]

Fantastic, certainly looks like it's been well looked after

[FreeLitres]

Good choice Sir!

[Speedracer329]

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
It has been well cared for but the previous owner had concentrated his efforts on the mechanical side. When viewed close up it could do with a respray & an interior refresh, but I will tackle those jobs next spring. Couple of things I want to do as well, such as change the headlights back to standard,paint the front grill, either matt black or the same as the paintwork, new dash, all the Leven bits, yada yada.
To be honest though the expensive jobs have been done, a new 4.6 V8 Developments engine with big valve heads & other trickery, new Gaz suspension, AP brakes, body off chassis rebuild, all new ancillaries like battery, radiator, twin fans, starter motor, alternator, the list is almost endless!!!!

Really jealous ...

Cracker one of the nicer ones I have seen, I like the headlights think it gives it a modern look along with the alloys.

[robsco]

Speedracer, I think the original headlights would improve the looks no end, I never found the outlandish Tuscan-esque headlamps to suit the more classically elegant looking TVR bodies; Cerb, Chim, Griff etc.

Nice. Looks good on those wheels. I think they really suit TVRs.

Nice but why does it have Cherry picker sticking out of the roof

For the same reason there's a palm tree sticking out of boot
