Well, I promised myself a Chimaera and today I've put a deposit on one!
450, unmodified and in need of some love over the coming months, but basics are right and its the engine I wanted.
Pics to follow and big grin on my face whilst I'm waiting to collect!

I'd like to hear a few peoples opinions on changing the carpet colour, the cars red (dog dick red) currently has red carpets that have faded and I don't think it was the right colour to start with. I'm thinking black, but am open to suggestions......

Congratulations on your purchase. As far as carpet colour goes, stay red! TVRs are supposed to be lairy and a bit different. I've always thought that a TVR looks fantastic with the carpets colour coded to the body, with the leather adding another dimension.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! Furniture Clinic will be your friend to re-dye the carpets. Either that or spend a few hundred and get some new ones, however, something tells me that your priorities will change pretty soon biglaugh

PS - my carpets were originally black which I thought was a bit boring hence the change to red as shown above.
