Mine will be 5 years in June, but it's currently up for sale so may or may not reach the milestone.

I've enjoyed it immensely though, despite the niggles and the money spent. They certainly get under your skin.

From new. August 1998. An occasion from collection to today.
I really couldn’t have put it better myself. Owned mine from new in March 2000 so for 21 years, & it still feels like a special event when I drive it. An analogue palate cleanser in what is sadly going to become an increasingly quiet clinical & characterless digital world
B****r. I bought mine new in March 2002. You both beat me.

Still loving it. smile

2 Chimaeres over 14 years.

Would I buy another again, maybe............ had lots of fun, met some very good people and drove faster than I have ever done before, (on track of course!).

When things are good, they are very, very good. When it is hot outside then it is even hotter inside the cabin of a big engined chim and I couldn't wait to get out of it smile

You could have just fitted AC instead of a 400 bhp engine. thumbup

It’s okay, I’m in the land of the old men.

I now have air-conditioning, heated seats and an electric roof. Happy days!

19 years and 122K miles of continuous improvement. Like its owner, it just gets better with age.
