Hello! New member here - although I've kept an eye on the forum for a couple of months now.

I've always been a bit of a fan of TVRs and spent a while looking at various models. On St Georges Day I collected a fantastic '98 starmist blue Chimaera 500 from CastleTVR (who have been great with all my pre and post purchase questions).

The car gets used every day and I've now done about 3,500 miles in it (including 2 enthusiastic drives to mid Wales) and still can't get the stupid smile off my face :silly:

I've been a member of TVRCC for a while as well so looking forward to getting along to a couple of meets.

Anyway, good to meet you all :wavey:

Jon :cloud9:

Look you lot. Unless you have done more research than me, listen to the expert.

Hello everyone

I have only driven a green and blue one, and the blue ones are definately quicker (ok, so the green was a 400 and the blue a 500)
