Pick up Chimaera Tomorrow

[pzero64]

I pick up 1994 Chimaera 4 litre tomorrow lunch time. Car advertised on pistonheads earlier in week. I actually feel both nervous and excited. I can't wait.

I managed to put something like 1000 miles on mine in the first week if that's any encouragement! Just watch it if its wet (can be fun tho!)

Congratulations. It will be a bit different from the Jag! Have you developed the TVR grin yet ?

I use my Chim most days and have not had many problems. The first time it let me down on my own drive and the second time as I entered the work car park. I hope yours is as good - I think the cars used regularly suffer less than those stored over winter and used for a few weekends in the summer.

It looks like I will get mine back from Peninsular next week - I already want to get back behind the wheel and press that right peddle .

When I picked mine up, I had to drive back in the dark, it was p***ing it down, and I had to come over the cat and fiddle. I was absolutely knackered, and drenched with sweat by the time I got home cos I was that nervous of the car.

Now in the summer during the day, sunny weather and the top down, altogether different experience.

Nice one ..was it the grey one..?

sh*t - i need it to be dry tomorrow lunchtime as I am using the chim as a wedding car for my mate.

Whenever a new TVR is picked up, it always pisses down

Good luck for tomorrow , enjoy those first few days and take the roof off

Thank you all for your comments and advice. The car was the charcoal one in Suffolk. It is not a very pleasant evening so it is bound to be raining tomorrow. I'm sure it will not dampen my sprits. I will certainly take it easy for a while.

Enjoy the day, but dont forget that they go MUCH better with the roof safely stored in the boot

Guessed as much.. If its as good as it sounds in the Ad, then you've got yourself a nice motor at a good price..

(I take it you HPI'd it..)

Cheers,
