Does anyone know of a Chimaera for sale that requires work. I have a huge amount of spares including engine running gear and a mint chasis. I'm looking at getting another TVR back on the road again.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Andy but I need something that needs more doing to it. I've got loads of spare parts including interior, wheels, engine, & most of the running gear. I've been looking at starting a project and building from scratch. Fire damaged or badly damaged bodywise would help to keep the initial cost down.
Saw a great one the other month, which was badly fire damaged and went for around 2500. Thats the sort of thing I'm after.
Cheers

Give it a couple of months and when its still there make them a stupid offer.
One of the guys on the S forum made a very low offer on a salvage V8S, the breaker took it without any haggling.

It doesn't look cheap does it? But it's not recorded so if it was repaired it would have the same value as any other out there. On the down side, I think it's in worse condition than it first appears. I spoke to a guy at Dougie Valley before it came in. He told me there was 'a nice clean one coming in next week, but the chassis is bent...' Maybe it's this one?

Even more confusing is it looks identical to another car advertised on here that's being broken for parts. See this thread.

I might give them a shout to see if they have a more realistic price for the whole car. Just wanna get it on the road. The Tuscan looks like it will be written off because of the July floods. Long story.
