Anybody know this car - Red 1994 400

[lewis_sharman]

As some of you may have seem in previous posts i will be looking to get my first TVR soon and have been looking for a Chimaera.

I have just seen this on autotrader and wondered if any of you know the car or any of its history?

Don't know the car but the new chassis, stacks of receipts and RT racing service are big pluses for me.

Especially given the (trade, I assume) price.

Thats what i thought, problem is its 120 miles away from me but it looks like a bargain. I think i will have to give them a call. Why do you think its so cheap?

Age, time of year, difficult to sell a big engined sports car.
What sort of budget do you have? I know of a very good 97 400 up for sale in Essex. 62k, 97 facelift in viper blue. FSH and VERY well maintained. I sold it 3 weeks ago (t'was mine for the last 4 years) to a chap in Southend who'd regretted selling his Cerb 10 days before but isn't finding it as much fun (quick) as his old cerb.

Nah...it wouldn't be fair...I don't like taking sweets from kids.

New chassis, new brakes, adjustable shocks all round, in excellent condition for less than £6k
Where's the catch because 2 years ago you'd have bitten his arm off above the elbow for that.

i think this might be a car owned by a friend of mine .. red chimaera, new chassis, adjustable dampers all is correct for his car. He was the valeter at HHC harrogate and kept his cars absolutely perfect. If so it would be a good buy. 5995 is sooooo cheap. other chim owners must be heartbroken to see effectively a refurbed chim at such a low price. if its the car i think it is : buy it! Just down the road from me (literally a mile away) so if anyone wants to drag me down for a look-over please call me.

Trackcar!

Could you take a pop down there at all and check it out for me please? Its exactly what im looking for but its a good 120 mile trip up there and i dont really want to waste my time if its not up to scratch.

If you could do that for me i would be unbelievably appreciative

My budget would be stretched to £8k but that would leave little if anything were to go wrong in the first couple of months, so realistically i am looking at the lower range of the market, but im not willing to settle for a complete dog.

How much is the one up for that you know of?

Didn't you buy one of the slowest ones once?

I'll have a quick look at it when I pass, I'm a bit further away than Joo but its on a road I use

You've seen the engine and suspension spec, right?

If thats the case I'd say a call to RT Racing would be worthwhile surely?

Anyway - enough willy waving.
