Looking at a 2001 4.5 Chimaera. (The green one on Ebay which was up for £10500).
This car was originally on a 51 plate but does not have the Cerbera seats and faired in headlights.
There is another late 2001 car on Ebay which does.
Does anyone know when the facelifted cars started to leave the factory, or from which VIN Chimaeras came with the facelift mods.
Does anyone know this particular car E15 TVR?

I'm looking at 450's as well an I have seen that car in the ads.

I'm sure ther are some nasty bodged accident repairs out there where an old nose/rear is put on a newer car.

However there are also many genuine factory cars that have unusual combinations given their year of registration.

There are no fixed dates or chassis number cut offs for body/interior updates. TVR made many cars to specific customer requirements and they also sold some pre-facelift front and rear ended cars for a time after the new cars were out.

I guess the spec is consistent, i.e. not as suspicious as new seats old front.
