TVR Shooting Brake, Feedback please!

[Griffithy]

Hi, to all TVR Nuts!

Before you tell me that;
I know that this is a bad sacrilege.

Anyway, I´m really fed of Mercedes&Co changing modells that often (Facelift after 2 years, introduction of completely new modell 2 years later again) and in addition not too much fun to drive as well.
On the other hand my Great Dane is absolutely fed of
TVRs, he never ever gets a lift in it.
Because I must drive an estate-car for business and want to do ourself a favour and satisfy the dog as well, eventually I had a dream:
A Shooting Brake based on the Chimaera.

Please tell me what do you think, but don´t flame me badly.
And Ted, please don´t ban me, I love it here.

See some of my sketches on following links:

looks great, bit like the cerbera? what might it cost?

I can only guess, because not spoken to a specialist yet. Around GBP 5.000,-

griffithy, looks good to me....I'd keep quiet about satisfying the dog though. Cerby doesn't cut it IMO

Apache, you are so right, that´s why I haven´t told the dog yet.

I thought about the Cerby first, but it fits the Chimaera better/easier, but still uses Cerby rear-screen and C-posts.
Other points are price and maintenance and of course still must preserve the removable top.

Ted,
that is not a real one, is it?

I will be forced to contact the taste Police if you continue with this kind of talk. Some subversives amongst you may argue that it's a matter of personal preference but I can assure you that there are certain absolute boundaries you should not cross. You have been warned!

I knew it.
It was only a question of time!

Anybody for a Diesel variant?

Well I thought it was a poor job but it did convince someone when I first did it which caused some amusement

Oh no!
It did convince me as well.

I was just about asking who built it.

Now I know:
Made by Petrol Ted
