Chimaera Factory Options List

[Malcster]

Just trying to compile a list of optional extras available from the factory for the Chimaera, and to see out of these which I am lucky enough to have!
From what I have so far, the majority seem to be interior based:

- Alloy switch gear
- Alloy front screen vents
- Leather door cards (Full hide)
- Gold TVR badges
- Lumbar Support Air Pump
- Non-Smoking interior (ashtrays delete)
- TVR Stiched Logo in Headrests
- Rear Speakers
- Piped Carpets
- Turned Aluminium Dashboard
- Wool carpets
- Audio System Upgrade?
- Flip-Flop paint
- Low-Profile tyres
- Coloured hood (Maroon / Navy Blue?)
- Speed Six headlights

What have I missed?

I know there was (and still is) a lot of shiney extras available from Leven (pedals / filler caps etc) - but were any of these available from the factory?

Cheers,

Malc

Full leather was an option as was half leather (seat and headrest facings)
I don't think the factory ever did a Speed Six headlight option for the Chimaera, I think they're all aftermarket, the same goes for the screen vents they're a Leven item.

You need to clarify the year you are looking at - the beginning, '93, the middle, 97/8 or the end, 200?

You have missed things like PAS, Air Con, additional blowers (foreign markets?) and LHD ??

Would your list not appear in the appropriate TVR Catalogue of the Year?? Sorry, I don't have one to hand, but you do see "Literature" for sale/exchange on EBay etc??

Then there was a seperate audio price list, but most of my customers kept the standard radio/cassette and had a 6CD (CDX-P630) at £250 and the rear speakers at £100.
Then there was a seperate trim options price list if you wanted something a bit different.
Prices are from the middle, 1999.
