This is probably a really dumb question but here goes........

Just seen an advert on the WEB for a Chimaera 500 HC which is 'very rare' according to the advert. Mine has HC on the plenumb and I was under the impression that all 500's are the HC version? Or are there two seperate cars like the 400 and 400 HC?

My handbook says mine is a 500 HC and as far as I was aware, all 500's are HC's....I'm sure someone will put me right, if I'm wrong...!!!

Sounds like pants, Chim 500s are more rare than 4.5 or 4s but I've always thought the 5L motor was HC on Griffs and Chims..

It's probably "very rare" as it is the only one he's got...

The advert also claims 350 bhp, I thought 320 bhp was rather hopeful!!!
