Looking for a ride in a Chim 450 and 500

[fowey]

I owned a TVR 4.0L 6 years ago and am going to buy another Chim soon to prepare through the winter for next summer.

I am looking for the opportunity to experience a 450 and 500 (happy as a passenger)and wondered if anyone would be willing to take me for a spin on Sunday 11th September as I will be going to BNG at Castle Howard which is not too far from where I live.

I am not a teenage tyre kicker but a 41 year old family man and simply want to feel how much difference there are between the models to soidify my purchasing choice.

Anyone willing to either reply to this post or email me.

Much appreciated

Oops - I used to have one of those - On Tunnel run that day - if you want to see what a Chim 575 is like!

Dave thank's thats really good of you, I assume YHM means, You Have My car for the day while I satya at home and do some gardening? Your car looks sweet.

Jellison, I would love a ride in your 575, however it is unlikely that I will have anything like that, I need something fairly standard as I don't have much time for maintenance with my existing business commitments.

I have a friend who is a Tuscan owner and he is going to BNG after the drive from York and he will be able to introduce me to a few people at Castle Howard.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm sure it won't be a problem to take you for a spin. Just bring yourself (and a map) along and come and say hello to me.

Archie, I assume you will be at Castle Howard?

I will look out for your car, it's quite a distinctive colour.

Thanks

[V8 Archie]

Sure will.

Archie - Is that really bad light in the lower Photo -looks like the same colour as mine. Paradise Purple - Mmmmm.

[V8 Archie]

More a bad camera than bad light, but the colour's better in that pic than the top one I reckon. It's Violet Blue.

YHM = You Have Mail.

Glenn, if you drop me a reply to the e-mail I sent to you then I will forward my mobile number. Just give me a ring when you are at Castle Howard and we will have a run out. From what you have said in previous posts on here, my car could be just what you are looking for.
