Once (or twice) in a lifetime...........

Thought you may be interested to hear about these little gems:
We’ve just found 2 unregistered, unsold chimaeras in Cyprus. They’ve been in a bonded warehouse for about 10 years (awaiting paperwork to confirm the full story).
We have acquired them for a customer of ours who collects cars & owns many other British gems – these will be the first TVRs in his stable.
Both have power steering, air con, Km clocks & according to the plates were made for Malaysia (which I presume is why they are factory fitted with a/c). Both cars fired up straight away, one looks pretty pristine (under the dust!), the other has a torn rear screen & as a consequence has suffered a bit of cosmetic damage due to short term water ingress (apparently they pushed the cars outside a few weeks ago).
We’re awaiting clearance for temporary release from the bonded to our garage so we can get them on the ramp & carry out full inspections.
007 has 232 Kms
005 has 233 Kms
PS – also spotted at the warehouse, a V8 Morgan & a Delorean!! What an Aladdins cave, they almost had to throw us out!!
The Morgan, for anyone interested!:

Hi Malcster,
Both 400's. A price (subject to no major issues being found during inspection & I doubt that as both fired up & sounded sweet after all this time) has been agreed between the previous owner & our customer. We will only be responsible for the big love-up they both need. So unfortunately I'm not able to let you know the price, customer confidentiality & all that jaz!
I can confirm that they are going to a really good home, they will be stabled with a couple of beautifully restored E-Types, a Ferrari 355 & various other great classics. We love this customer - his passion for cars (particularly British cars) is inspiring.
Looking forward to them arriving here - will post more pics once we get them on the ramp!!
