vehicle description:

1996 N Reg, 47000 Miles, CHIMAERA 400 in Starmist Silver.
Great condition car with blue interior trim & complete alloy interior upgrade including dash, handbrake & indicator stalks. The trim and interior really complement the car, and is not one of the more garish two tone affairs normally found in other CHIMAERA"s.
Desirable combination of Serpentine Engine with T5 Gearbox which had a Factory TVR replacement including 500 Clutch upgrade at 30000 miles costing £2000.
Silicon / Stainless hose and upgraded alloy radiator with wetter water means car never suffers with heat issues. Having taken the car to Le Mans this year and sat in the stationary town traffic for 2 hours I can vouch that this system worked really well and kept the car running at a consistent 90c. No hot start challenges.
Fuel lines replaced with Copper hard lines 2015 so no problems with perished fuel hoses.
Pre-cats removed & Decat Y piece in place. Catted Y piece will come with car.
Complete new roof and Targa recovered in blue mohair May 2016.
2 x Front Tyres replaced June 2016 (Toyo T1-R)
Alloys are not mint and if I was keeping the car would look to have them refurbished. They are not kerbed, however the lacquer had started to blister and the previous owner has flatted out the spots on the wheels, causing a few patches which are lighter in colour than the original silver alloy.
Front end had respray by previous owner so is good condition. Age related marks on paintwork at rear of car would be good to address however does not detract from the car in totality.
Good history and a really honest car. Kept garaged on trickle charger and used approx every two weeks. This isn’t a garage queen that is going to throw up lots of issues. It has been used regularly and had all the niggles ironed out without having intergalactic miles.
New MOT till July 2017 – passed with no advisories. Tester is well known to TVRCC members and regularly tests club cars. Pleasingly he commented on how good condition the car was and in particular the chassis.
Lots of history / receipts
Service completed June 2016 prior to Le Mans.
Please feel free to get in contact with any questions - If I don"t answer leave a voicemail and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
Looking to replace the car with a VW T5 so am open to sensible offers.
This car is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to remove the advert at any time.
