New owner

[Albir]

With the help of my son (Rochester TVR) this morning I put a deposit on a 1999 Chimaera 450 in crystal verde.... Will be collecting it next weekend. Obligatory photos below.

I look forward to meeting some of you at future runs and events.

Cheers
Frank

Before that though I want to buy this steering wheel, my son and I can't find it for sale anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find one?



And here is my new chim

From this recent thread TVR Steering Wheel? there were a couple of links that may be worth following.

You have a thing for white carpets do you?
Looks to be another nice example you have found there.

Got that But I would try calling them.
It has never ceased to amaze me what people don't list on their websites, that they do keep in stock, or can get.

Nice.

I really like Crystal Verde, a BMW colour I believe.

Enjoy it.

Think you might find they're out of stock at the moment, I've been trying to get one for 6 months + and Clever Trevor hadn't got any idea when they might get any more when I last spoke to them a few weeks ago. Good luck though & if I find a supplier I'll let you know (hope you'll do likewise ?)

Hi Frank, welcome to TVR ownership, I looked at that car last year, looked a good solid example......ended up with a 450 Crystal Verde with slightly different interior. Also looked at the blue one funnily enough. Have been looking for an alternative wheel myself..not seen that particular wheel but did come across a cracking alternative which made me chuckle!...

Lee told me what a friendly community this is and how helpful you all are. I look forward to meeting you at the next event when I take the Chimera.
