My old Chim

Just wondering if anybody knows the whereabouts of the Chimaera I sold 3 years ago
M665 CLD. Grey (Grigio titanio) with blue hood and interior

Hi there.

I bought this car last week!

This makes it easier.

Well the new reg might explain why I was having trouble tracing it
The wheels used to be Black, but they look good Silver
How are you finding it?

[gamefreaks]

Yes, the previous owner put a plate on it and it's wearing a new set of refurbed wheels.

The car seems to be in decent shape. The previous owner put a lot of money into it and most of the problem areas seem to have been dealt with. It's on 88k miles now.

I want to get it into a specialist and get it on the ramps to have a proper look at the chasis and suspension soon.

I've done a couple of jobs on it so far.

It's behaved itself so far apart from stalling at a junction (which it hasn't done again since) and it seems a bit lumpy for a few minutes in the morning when it's cold.

I've got a new throttle pot to fit tomorrow because sometimes when you just slightly press the throttle, the revs drop rather than go up.

It's my first TVR, and so far I'm enjoying it very much!

I now have her! Same issue at idle persists, again going to a specialist to resolve, but it is a fantastic car! I love it!

I think it just gets the hump when it has a new owner!

That's a beautiful colour.

Thanks, it’s ‘Grigio Titanio’ used on Ferrari’s (basically titanium grey but that sounds less sexy), in good light you can see it’s somewhat metallic.

I also live in South Wales if you’d ever like to see it in person

It certainly is.

I don’t usually like silver cars (despite having had a silver Chimaera too) but the colour really sets off the shape.

Lovely.
How are you finding driving it with the ride height set so low.

I think the only time my suspension has ever been that compressed was going through a corner at a race circuit many moons ago.

Does it posses any suspension when set that low?

[QBee]

I had suspension that low a couple of months ago - fixed it with some new springs all round.
The old ones had lost their boing

Your profile says Cardiff. Me too.

There's a monthly car meet at the Ty Mawr in Lisvane first Weds of the month if you're about and fancy a meet and a chat.

That sounds great, PM me the details and I'll be there
