Random TVR Pics (Vol 2)

Winter cleaning on the Chimaera has begun, definitely won't be going out on the salty roads!

[ThePrisoner]

Nice...... Very nice, There are Transparent cable ties out there though .

I did that last winter, cleaning off all the dirty waxoil with white spirit, then used a clear wax coat on top again. Dinitrol I think

You wonder why TVR, especially in the later years didn’t consider covering the underside of the car with removable plastic panels . the design of the cars promotes corrosion and diy maintenance!

[Benjy911]

I haven't really cleaned much Waxoyl off, just muck, I don't know how it's lasted so long without any protection though.

For now I'll just keep it clean, it's only a summer/dry day car and it's kept in a dehumidified garage so I don't think it needs smothering in anything?

I might get some clear protection film to wrap the outriggers which are within the wheel arch, and also where the handbrake cable rubs on the wishbone, and maybe some transparent cable ties

Wow! Looking good. It was waxoyled every year. James has cleaned it off & it looks stunning. When I bought it it had the tidiest chassis I'd ever seen.

That car has seen plenty of bad weather, along with its chums!

It won't know its born!

Haha, glad that Waxoyl worked - it's definitely one of the best I've seen and as James found out, I'm a very fussy bugger!

Definitely won't be getting any snow on him in the garage!







Not totally happy with the holes either side of the front plate, might have to put a slightly bigger one on.

When I had the front end resprayed, I had them filled in and smoothed over.

Looking stunning!

That's (to my knowledge) at least the 4th registration number assigned to that car.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Shouldn't you have resprayed it red for that photo opportunity?
Anyway, it's a triumph being part of that line up.

It's Christmas so that's OK.

Can anybody tell me where in Derbyshire this was in 2008?

[phazed]

Roar 08 I believe.

We were there.

Can’t remember the name of the hotel……
