As has been mentioned elsewhere on PistonHeads, the Chimaera 500 is no longer available because TVR Power have no more 5-litre engines left.
Likewise poor Ken (see ATTEMPTED THEFT, CAR TORCHED) can't have a replacement Griff 500 for his torched car because TVR Power have no more 5-litre engines left.

However, surely there are still spare parts available? Or are the all the Griff 500's and Chimaera 500's now on borrowed time as one by one they break whichever parts it is that prevent TVR Power from making 5-litre engines?

Just what are the differences between a 450 and 500 engine, aprt from the capacity? I understand that the 500 has a modified inlet manifold, but what else?

Cheers
