The trials and tribulations of TVR Chimaera ownership.

Saturday, 7 July 2007

The car is mine 07/07/07

Drove across the country to look at the car.

It was a Chimaera 450 (1999), in Starmist blue with magnolia and blue hide and blue carpet.

The car needed a lot of TLC.
Particularly:
  • The leather
  • The hood
  • The body work
  • The Camshaft
However:
  • It was a great price
  • It has a brand spanking new chassis! Not due to accident damage but done under warranty before TVR when belly up
  • It was the model I wanted in colours that I like
Images to come soon!

Cash parted with and driven home - sweet

Noticed a few problems - throttle response pretty poor, engine a bit tappy.
