Perceived value is a remarkable thing.

Hi Chris, I think it was a simular one with the carbon bonnet but that one had a full harness and a roll bar iirc. Looks quite nice but not for that price. you could get a good 500 for that.

It looks very similar and the one on the PH classifieds was a cat D if I remember right

Those wheels...

No appreciable premium for 500s compared to 450s in the market, and for a good reason. I'd take a 450 every time, all else being equal (which is never - so strictly hypotheticslly speaking).

I put a bid in on the cat d one on ebay that looked like that, but after treble checking.. it was listed as a eBay Offer Declined Notice: TVR CHIMAERA 4.0 HC 1994 V8 flip paint, modern light upgrade, history, MOT

Just remember; Any of them is worth that much. Any of them.
Even yours

We talk down values and prices of Chimaeras to our own detriment.

Um, no - the redder the better.

[JPW231]

I remember looking at it - although I didn't view a year or so ago. It had the same work done and speedo change etc...
I'm sure it was <£9k then though!

Granted; red ones are worth even more.
