Collected a Chimaera from the Isle of Man at the weekend.
Thanks to John for looking after it so well.
Hope the link works :-

Great Journey back, 1st off the ferry at Liverpool and set off a couple of car alarms when I started up, unintentionally, but had a childish giggle anyway.
Then a Saturday evening dash over Woodhead pass. Brilliant, what a sound these cars make, nothing quite like it.
Great to be back in a TVR and in the UK

Saw that in the classifieds and it looked very nice.

I have taken the plunge too :-)

Pictures to follow when I've collected her & given her a thorough clean next w/e (I'm sure that she won't be dirty knowing the existing owner and his 36ft long garage which I'm very jealous of!)

Also did an HPI check & was curious what the previous owners have moved onto & was pleased to see that they've moved onto a Tuscan (which was written off 6 months later :-( ) replaced by a Griffith :-)
One of the other owners still has a Tuscan, so I'm hoping that she's been cherished :-)
