P874OLX - Any History

[Roaring Reds]

Hello to all you Chimaera drivers! I'm new to the fold having decided that my E46 M3 was a bit tame!
I'm in the process of purchasing P874 OLX, a Crimson Starmist 500 from Adrian Blyth.
Rob Ingleby has checked the car over and to make sure that I know what I'm buying could you let me know if any of you recognise the car or could tell me of it's history?

Thanks,
Roaring Reds

Looked at the car on Adrain Blyths site.
Sorry don't know any history as I have only just joined the ranks as well. The only reason I replied is that the colour and leather are exatly the same as mine except I think your carpet is beige whereas mine is red.
My car was formerly owner by a female the first owner. Wasn't too sure when I heard what the carpet colour was, but it looks OK .......honest.

...a beautifully presented, full service history, sensible priced 5.0 litre Chimaera with a huge volume of service history where not only has every service bill been retained and catalogued but a meticulous filed log has been kept of every expenditure (including light bulbs!)

Recent "no expense spared" TVR main dealer sevicing :- 24k £2617.00; 12k £1449.00 and 6k £1449.00 confirm replacement of clutch, shockers, rad, suspension arms, gaiters, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, battery, discs+pads, track rod ends etc. etc. etc.

An independent inspection by the acknowledged No 1 TVR guru - Rob Ingleby.

Followed by a thorough pre-delivery inspection by arguably the nations most sought after and widely respected TVR independent - Dave Batty....

IMHO Scott, I reckon "you've covered all the bases", just sit back, relax and count the minutes to collection!

Good point - I must have read too many horror stories about them going Bang!
I can't wait to pick it up next week - please let me know when it's going to Dave's and then when it will be ready for collection.

Cheers

Two too many cylinders to worry... you'll be able to sleep soundly with the venerable V8.

RR - I bought my first Chim from Adrian Blyth (actually sold to me by his (I'm assured) dashing assistant.

AB has a reputation for rejecting far more cars than he takes on to sell. Certainly all the motors in the showroom when I was looking were immaculate.

4 months into ownership, I haven't looked back. The car's been superb and every time I drive it I grin so hard my ears get wet!

Stop worrying and enjoy the flight!
