Does anyone know whose car this is?

My kid Brother might be buying it. Looks nice, but not cheap.

If you want a sorted Red Chim, have you seen this Formula Red 500 in Hexham?

£3000 recently spent on it but a new baby forces sale.

Speak to Tony at HHC, Hexham.

near identical to my 450( apart from blue) same upgrades, mine has 32k miles and i bought mine private..... For £6k+ less than that and less owners and Tuscan seats. 14k is a lot ,, if your paying that much I would be tempted by a 500..

just my thoughts

Its a lovely looking car but thats a decent budget to play with. If it was me I would buy private for less and keep a slush fund for any surprises and/or upgrades.

The owner is the guy who got me into Chimaera ownership and his car is well looked after and in excellent condition.

I'd echo your thoughts. 14k is a heck of a lot for a 450, no matter how good the seller may be.
I do like the grey 99 model mentioned above though.

But it's grey. Sorry not a Chimaera colour IMHO.

My Brother is not mechanically minded whatsoever. The 12 month wear and tear 'anything goes wrong' means a lot to him, he lives 10 mins drive from Str8Six

Near Benson. I'll let him know.

I owned a Chimaera for over 6 years so I know them very well.
