Welcome to TVR ownership. If it is half as fun for you as it has been for me thus far, then the grin will never be removed..

Hope the top was down the entire way.. With this weather, it is a must..

Congratulations! Better than the Audi then?

Don't forget a picture when you have a moment.

Was just about to post the same thing, so may as well put in this thread! Picked up my 1998 Chimaera 450 on Saturday!

Great fun! and great weather for 1st week of ownership - Will try posting some pics shortly.

Sorry to hijack your thread....

Great choice of cars chaps, welcome!!

Was going to say exactly the same - hope you enjoy them guys and do make sure you play gently till you are used to it, they will bite

Great choice the 450 is perfect for speed and comfort, is it one of the fast green ones?

Take it easy enjoy getting used to the power, enjoy the weather. Clean the stepper motor regulaly and feed the leather, oh yes check the oil/water levels weekly. Look around for replacement parts as prices range drasticly for identical items. But most of all just look good

Welcome Steve

Thanks guys n girls for all the comments and advice on looking after my P&J.. 1 week in and loving it and the weather! Audi was good car (not cheap to run tho-think any bills for Chim will not be much more! fingers x) but Ive always wanted a Chim so had to grab one when got the chance. Its Antigua Blue with Biscuit trim will get some pics up when i get the time to do so.

Missed you at HHC on Tuesday 1st, Tony mentioned you were due in to pick up the Chimaera,we stopped off there on our way back up to Aberdeen from a weekend in Yorkshire. Had the roof of the Chimaera from Aberdeen to Yorkshire and back to Aberdeen again. Excellant TVR weather.

Glad all is well with your new P&J. Remember, beware the damp Aberden days and the odd diesel spill on the roundabouts. No traction control liike the TT had.

Get in touch soon, and I will give uou details of the NES club. Our big event is at Afford is the 19th August.

Regards
