TVR, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Discussion
Help please people.
I am toying with getting myself a "toy" and have been a long time admirer of TVR's. I am therefore contemplating a Chimera, probably a 450 or 500, second hand and willing to spend up to about £18,000.
A couple of people (who have never had one themselves I hasten to add) have told me a lot of stories about unreliability, bodywork problems etc etc. However, the owners I have spoken to love their cars. Judging by the number of them that we se at Le Mans each year they are not an unpopular choice.
Has anyone here got/had one and if so, what are your honest opinions on them. I'd like to hear all points of view, good stories, bad stories, warranty claims if bought from a TVR dealer. All info will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
