That looks great.
The Chim is such a timeless car you can imagine they would have looked like this if Tvr had kept developing the car with bigger brakes and better suspension into the naughties.
Class that is.

I read the colour as God Yellow, I know it's wrong but it could be!

Nothing comes close to these wheels in my opinion, they look great and really suit the car.

Correct.
And no longer made, but they do come up for sale on PH and Faceache from time to time.
They are extremely good, cover the leaky bits without damaging your paint, so jump quickly if you want one and you see one advertised.

And will save a small fortune in carpet / roof repairs in the longer run.
I should have bought one years before I did.
Quality not often seen anymore.
I think they were undersold back in the day.

Sadly After owning my lovely Paris blue chimera, living in london ULEZ coming in October is now forcing my hand.
So I’m thinking of selling her, it’s a 96, 1 owner me, 27,000 miles.
What do you think is a sensible price , 12 months MOT, never raced, tidy car with a few scruffs from neighbours who can’t park ;-) straight.
