A TVR virgin here and getting confused trying to buy my first Chimaera. So many out there - why?
Have my eye on a 99 4.5 private Chim with 12K on the clock. I have no experience of TVRs so need to get it right first time.
Can anyone out there recommend a good specialist TVR inspection guy in the M4/M5/M50 area who could give a potential private buy the once over.
Would appreciate any guidance from you guys out there.
Steve

Team Proactive
College Auto Centre
Kingstanding Road
Perry Barr
Birmingham

Telephone: 0121 344 3400

They may be able to suggest someone if they are too far from you. Good luck,

You say M50/M5 so Tewkesbury way?
My Parents live just outside Tewkesbury.

You could try David Gerald in Inkberrow [url]www.davidgeraldtvr.freeserve.co.uk/[/url]

The Sports Car Centre in Drake Broughton, nr Pershore was dealer until early 90's, pre Chimaera!
Broughtons in Cheltenham did do TVR but I think will only touch R-R these days.

That's cos it was the wrong URL: it should be www.findasportscar.co.uk
