McGurk Chimaera 500 Pistonheads Classified

[Peter6151]

Does anyone know this vehicle which looks very interesting and has anyone had dealings with this company which seems to specialise in Aston Martins

[Gozz]

I haven't bought a car from them but they seem very straightforward to deal with. I have been down to see them before and they seem genuine enough. Their stock is pretty high quality and I would think the Chim should be a decent one as it isn't their normal sort of stock. They do specialise in Astons but they have a variety of other cars as well.

Well they certainly have some chunky stock! I'd be happier buying there than someone whose other stock was 1k bangers!

Looks really nice. Like the colour. 500 (Biased, but best choice!), good mileage.

Doesn't list previous owners, but if that is all good, and the chassis is nice, it looks a very well priced car IMHO. Service history sounds good too.

Drivers seat looks like it may be a little tatty; cant see the near bolster but the far one looks a bit crumpled. That's the only fault I can see.

I'd not heard of them before I bought my Chim. The previous owner bought it from them and kept it in the same condition as the day he bought it. If i simply said 'it's an immaculate, fantastic, perfect condition car' you'd understandably think I was biased and talking as the owner of my pride and joy - however, I have worked for 2 TVR garages in the past so know what to look for and it took around 25 months to find my car - I looked at what seemed like hundreds! My car - supplied by McGurk several years prior - is a stunning example and is a testament to their stock quality (assuming mine wasn't a one off!)

It's definitely worth having a look at it - even if you don't buy it, chances are it'll set the benchmark.

I know its a bit more but what about this, it looks immaculate

No relation to the seller other than I brought a spare set of wheels from him. He seemed a genuine chap with a genuine reason to sell.

Didnt see the car because it was under cover but cant be many out there in this condition.

I contacted McGurk a few days ago about this 500.

It doesn't have power steering which may or may not be an issue for you but does, generally, mean a lower price.

Does it? Was a positive for me. Less to go wrong, nicer at speed.
