Just to say that I've returned to Chimaera ownership, following a 3 year absence and it's superb! On Saturday I bought a bright yellow 2000 Chimaera 450 and can't get the grin off my face.

This might not seem suprising on the face of it, but the car I've changed from is a Cerbera Speed Six. Don't know if others have had similar experiences but it is really quite noticeable how much more refined the Cerbera 6 is - which speaks volumes for the company. But the trade off is that it's not as exciting - at least I don't think so. I suppose it's a `horses for courses' thing. Anyway, can't wait for some nice weather!

Yes thirsty - Giallo Fly it is.
As some others have said, bright yellow takes some persuading the wife. But after several `classier’ colours, I thought, if I’m going to have another convertible TVR, to be used more in the nicer weather, then I’m going to have a bright one! The wife agreed this was a logical argument, so conceded. Anyway, she now thinks it’s great!

No, Giallo Fly is apparently the yellow colour Ferarri use, which is a solid colour. But when I saw it in the showroom it looked stunning! My gripe with darker metallics is that they show all the marks, particularly when the sun comes out - although they do look fantastic when they're polished and the weather's a bit duller. With my other cars, I almost dreaded sunny days! It's not going to happen with this one though - the brighter the sun the better!
