I spoke to TVR direct about 4 months ago and officially they dont, but they said they would definately consider an order. If you look at the web site it is still listed as an option. I guess the advantage of a complany like TVR is that they can be flexible. Not sure if that is still the case, but I would recommend contacting them direct. They were very helpful (although I ended up buying a '99 instead). The dealer I went to said no - although I can't complain too much because they let me test drive a Cerb, tamora and t350 because they had no customers in that afternoon !!!!!

Before Mr Smolensky came along the story was that if they got enough orders they would do a run. They probably wanted to do about 20 to make it worth it.

If you were prepared to pay enough Mr Wheeler might have accommodated you.

Nowadays, I'm sure the answer is "no". For a start there's no engine (although I suppose you could get an AJP powered Chim instead). And if Nickolai has any sense, he'll concentrate on making the current models work to the exclusion of all else to start with.

Thx for replies - I just looked on the TVR website and the car is listed as the entry level model - although to be fair the web site does not look particlarly up to date as the new cars are not even listed at the moment!!

Miss my Chimaera and the V8 roar - thinking about getting another - guess it will have to be second hand

Cheers
