Hi Guys.

Been a long time lurker here and finally took the plunge just over a year ago to buy my dream Chimaera. Some pics here hopefully.

My thoughts after 14 months of ownership - I love it! It seems like an event every time I drive it and the noise makes every drive special.

I believe it used to be owned by a PH’er, Chocoholic.

Only had one issue so far with a relay but other than that, it’s been wonderful!

Nice looking car and I like the garaging arrangement in the first picture too!

Cheshire is a big county, if you are in the south as I am (just a few miles out of Nantwich) then get yourself over to some of our meets and runs. https://www.facebook.com/groups/122703318383760/

Thanks guys. Yes, it’s a 400. Standard apart from an ACT decat. I’m not far from Knutsford so I’m sure I could find an excuse to toddle a bit further down south!

These are relatively simple cars mechanically although access can be a bit of a pain sometimes.

From being on here over some years the majority of faults seem to be electrical and are usually age related such as bad earths, corroding connections or like you relays giving up the ghost.
