A lot of car but a lot of money too.

I guess the quoted performance figures are at the wheels?

Seller tells you everything about it, would probably cost around £30K in all to buy a normal one then convert it to the same spec?? But if you want it ready made then the seller is accepting best offers too.

I like the single wiper and scuttle panel, wondering if it clears enough screen though...

Look carefully and it seems like it doesn't park neatly and therefor doesn't look OE but more KC, (kit car).

Not going to start knocking it as it is the result of a huge amount of work but why bother with the wipers!

A fantastic looking car very creative but does the scuttle panel stop any water running straight off the screen and down under the bonnet and straight ontop of the engine?

I clicked on the TVR section of eBay from that add, view all results and there is a custom Chimaera on there that has had something pumped into the arches!

I'm sure it's an incredibly fast Chim but that interior looks like a tart's window box. Oh dear!

Am beginning to wonder why my male friends all seem to be married to Lorraine. Is it a coincidence, or are we all sharing the same wife?scratchchin

interior is down to personnel choice especially after a full retrim, if the person who buys the car loves the interior thats all that matters. smile

At the risk of receiving a parrot, what's the plinth in the boot on the bulkhead that looks like it holds a row of tv remote controls ?
