Hi All,

Currently on the look out for a 4.0 Chimaera, hoping to arrange to see a blue one in Oxford that was for sale on PH (offer has now expired but have been in touch with the owner) but have just been browsing the classified and seen this

Any one know the car/been to see it?

Cheers,
Phill

Well it's mine!

Pick it up next Friday... needs a bit of work (new rear window) but the chassis looked good, bodywork was clean, engine started cleanly and pulled well.

Didn't get to drive it as I wasn't insured but apart from a little vibration through the steering (wheel balance) at around 60 it pulled well and stopped in a straight line.

Looking forward to joining TVR ownership!

Will do, it needs a session with the DA but that is easily rectified!

Will be picking it up on Friday night (i think the first upgrade may be some decent headlight bulbs)

You will soon find out you will be "going out alot to just get......", so you have reasons to drive it!

Enjoy it mate - your face will hurt from the grin factor...

I don't doubt it, i've been outside in the dark with my flood lights on glossing the garage door (half finished but decided it was getting too cold for the gloss to dry so I gave up)

Will be a job to finish on Tuesday when I get back from Newquay

Congrats Phil !! Look forward to seeing some pictures on here !

I can't wait to get minie back in one piece to start using it. My excuse is i'm waiting for the nice weather. Ropps, You and Me will have to get together and compare notes some time. Seems like a good reason to get out and play !

Keep me posted as well - as one of you lives close (and if I can get the car back together) I wouldn't mind joining you....

I'm getting the train up with a mate... only £12 each.

Whereabouts in MK are you? My office is in Shenley Wood (although i'm typing this from a hotel bar in Newquay!)
