Chimaera Servicing Costs.

[ANDYSUPRA]

I do not own a TVR yet and am a relative newcomer to this superb "Gassing Station", my first posting was about Chimaera DIY maintenance and the replies were most constructive and confirmed my belief that Chimaeras & Griffiths are relatively straight forward machines on which to undertake routine servicing/repairs. I have also been viewing the Cerbera and Tuscan discussion boards ( the tales of woe of which have confirmed my choice of Chimaera/Griffith as the best choice of TVR from a reliability point of view !!! ), however on one posting a Cerbera owner had just spent £ 3200 on a 24000 mile "service" which included other repairs.As this to me seems excessive,I am trying to find out what sort of servicing/repair costs Chimaera/Griffith owners are typically experiencing. Various magazines (such as EVO) do articles on buying used and they give typical fixed price "menu" servicing costs for various services, but as we all know ( particularly with bespoke machinery ) reality is totally different. I would like to hear from owners what costs they have experienced for servicing/repairs.

Thanks for your replies, most helpful. The examples you have given have been around what I have been expecting ( and still a lot cheaper than a Cerbie ! ). When I get one it will be a second car and will not be clocking up massive mileages ( although I am sure it will be difficult to resist taking the TVR keys !! ). Living in Lancashire my local dealers are Christopher Neil at Northwich and Harrogate Horseless Carriages in Harrogate ( obviously! ) , has anyone had experience of any of these ? ( without wishing to provoke the touchy subject of slagging off etc etc ).
Cheers Andy.
