And so a purchase was made...

Guys,
Having lurked here for a while silently absorbing knowledge i finally took the plunge into TVR ownership this afternoon by agreeing a deal on a Sovereign blue Chimaera 400 from Fernhurst motor company, reg R391NLJ.

I am now feeling like a kid at christmas and can't wait to collect my new toy, i think it is going to be a very long week....

Anyone know much about the history of this car, former PH owner by any chance etc?

Cheers

Good for you - did the same thing myself not so long ago. Days like today were made for these cars!

Thanks guys, i can't wait to get out and about in it with summer on its way etc.

Rear wheel drive shouldn't be a problem as it has mostly been pretty highly powered rear wheel drive automatic barges i have been driving till now (Jag XJ8, HSV GTS, etc etc) so i know the score and have no intention of provoking it in the wet.. I just hope i can get the hang of using the left foot again as its been a while.

Anyway I'll no doubt be bugging you all for info when i pick it up, so cheers in advance!

I was a few days ahead of you - got my silver Chim 500 from Fernies last Thursday. God, I love it!
They are top people. Good luck, and see you around!
