Hi all,
I’m a long time PH’er but have been inactive for 15+ years due to lack of an interesting car.

Now residing overseas I’m interested in purchasing a Chim which made its way to the USA sometime last year and was wondering if it was a known car or if any of its previous owners are on here. It was sold new by HR Owen in London and I can see from 2017-on it probably lived in/around Herts based on invoices.

It appears it was very well cared for in the UK.

The registration was: L384HUV

In October 2017 J E Developments rebuilt the engine to 4.6.

Thank you,
Jason

Me again. I was able to find a little more info on this car. It had the following number plates over the course of its life:

Apr 1994: L384HUV
Oct 2001: H1SRK
Oct 2007: L384HUV
May 2014: L6UGH
July 2017: L384HUV

It appears to have had 8 UK owners.

It was last sold in UK before heading State-side here: https://www.hpcclassics.co.uk/product-page/1994-tv...

I ran a Car Vertical report and can see that it's not been involved in any accidents but did have a good number of MOT failures over it's lifetime. I'm just curious to know from any previous owners if the car was a good one or a pup.

Thank you.

Hope you find the info you need.
Previous Mots look ok to me just typical Tvr stuff.
Looks like you have the added bonus of an Eales 4.6.
I'd be generally interested to know why his engines are held in such high regard.
What can he do that others don't?
Just genuinely curious that's all!
