Saw this today :-

New Chimaera

Worth it, or not? Opinions on a postcard to ..............

Been covered before, if I recall its one of the Malaysia cars that was stored for years when tvr where in trouble, I've been meaning to pop round and look as its only a few mins away from me.

Sounds about right...

Apologies for not checking first. I found the original thread and it would seem then that this has now been up for sale for over 12 months

Looks very similar to the colour of mine, both internally and externally

I was told that there were only 4 or 5 made in that colour (if it is the same as mine). Hmmmmm......

They had too of them last Autumn. The blue one sold (just before Christmas I think) but they still have the grey one. Was £28k originally.

They state it's a 2000 car so must have been a stored export because it has the Mk1 rear lights. I wonder how long a warranty you could get for it?

[snorky]

not really "NEW" is it - how many of the rubber parts will be perished to buggery and not have been changed?

Give me that bargepole... sorry, not long enough, give me another... sorry, longer....

The reason our cars run well today is because we and our previous owners have ironed out all the niggles. My car, dare I say it, has never really had a problem; it is maintained well, run regularly and anything known to be cheap, bodged, etc has now been replaced with a better part. It has taken time for her to reveal these little tantrums and for me to make her better.

This car is in its infancy and, like any beautiful baby, will st on you many times before it grows up and learns manners. Looks pretty; pretty hard work.


I'll keep my genuinely 'used' car, thanks.
