New to TVR

[Littletidnock]

I have just bought my first TVR its a Chimaera 400 apart from the expected idiosyncasies, wow!!
Just out of interest does anyone know how many where built?

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

A few thousand.

By the way, when the dash lights don't work, it'll be the button by your left knee!

Enjoy.

[Littletidnock]

Yes I have found that, after spending some time trying to dim them with the wiper delay switch.
The only problem I have found so far is that the mirror adjustment does both mirrors at the same time

[MADMAX2]

presuming the button still works!!!!!!!!!

They all do that Sir!

Big Welcome to the forum and the marque.

TAKE IT EASY IN THE WET even the baby 400 will bite you big time if you try to abuse her.

Enjoy and keep her shiny side up.

[Littletidnock]

Yes this is my toy, day to day I have Range Rover 4x4, abs, stability contol, traction contol, air bags, etc etc, I must say i feel a little exposed to my poor driving

[Littletidnock]

Oh and thank you for the warning and welcome

[Jasandjules]

Enjoy her.

As above, take it easy whilst you get to know her foibles... Many a person has found themselves, just 2 weeks into owning a TVR, backwards in a ditch.....

[Littletidnock]

I see you have a 500 is there a big difference?

about a hundred

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

...but seriously, the answer is yes!

[WazzaL]

Hope you're planning on coming to Roar 08..

Always good to see a new owner (though there is nothing wrong with the current ones.)

[ph1l5]

Welcome matey, enjoy her.

[s5tuart]

One comes, and one goes.
I am broken hearted having listed my 500 Chimaera on Fleabay.
Kinda hoping it doesn't sell 'cos then I'll have an excuse to keep it even though I REALLY need to dosh at the moment!
Sob!
Enjoy your car to the MAX. They really are superb!
