I guess you're refering to this:

It's been offered several times on ebay and not met the reserve, so removed. For good reason I would presume-ie why would anyone mate a Tuscan front to a Chimaera unless circumstances dictated it. My bet is this car is listed as a cat D or C. Caveat emptor!

I saw that as well and i was a bit suspicious of the fiat-esque rear lights.

Why not just run a £1.50 text HPI check?

It's not an insurance job. A previous owner wanted a different look and it's not a bad one IMHO.

Not mine, belongs to a friend and i would buy it from her if I had the money to spare!

ETA the reason it's dropped in price is that she needs to sell as she is about to lose another car which she has placed a deposit on!

i remember this car at my local tvr dealership. it was in having stonechips done on front end, cant remember how much it used to cost, about £600 - 800 seems to ring a bell, whilst a light conversion was about £1000, a lot of people in those days chose the light conversion whilst having front end done. same reason as a lot of cerberas have changed the lights on front end.

where in country and what dealer ship was it long ago im poss keen to look at this car ta very thanks

[joncon]

it was done at newtown motors in cwmbran, south wales. it was done a long time ago.
they havent been tvr dealers since 2003/4.
think they did the rear lights as well, no idea when though.

I bought my Chimaera 2 months ago BECAUSE of the front lights conversion!! (as well as service history etc).So far so good.(will learn how to post photos soon, promise.)

My car has these lights too and the car has not been crashed.

Its not really a grafted Tuscan front end merely a light conversion and there are several companies that offer the service. The actual headlights *are* much better than standard but I wouldn't recomment the 'upgrade' just for this.

The T350 conversion looks nice as well - but its all personal choice. Me... I prefer the Tuscan look.

Cheers
