vehicle description:

Gorgeous white on red TVR Chimaera 4.0 V8 1994.
I bought the car earlier this summer in Northern Ireland with the idea of making it my daily driver. Unfortunately, the MOT results are showing that the chassis needs a bit of work, and the car needs a bit more money poured into it before being fully usable !
 
The car already had considerable money recently spent on it.  The hood is brand new as is the front windscreen. The leather interior has recently been recovered along with the centre console area.
 
Dash was hydro dipped in a brushed aluminium effect and exterior mirrors covered in a carbon effect. Steering wheel recovered in alcantara. There are Leven levers on the stalks etc.
 
Under the bonnet is very tidy with various detailing including rocker and plenum covers. In September 2014 it basically had an engine rebuilt at TVR dealer. The car starts doesn"t have any hot start issue, does not overheat, and is not afraid of big trips! Battery has been relocated to the boot. 
The odometer is showing 57000 miles, which I presume is not correct, since the dash has been recently changed, and the odometer has stuck (common fault). The car was originally maroon and has been repainted in Audi Ibis white, which looks pretty good in my opinion! Tyres are excellent all round with loads of tread left.
2 keys and 2 alarm fobs.
The car drives well, is as fast as you would expect it to be, and is, uh... Loud. 
Mot was good until September 15th 2015. It failed on the outriggers that are rusty at the top, the headlamps that are too weak (which is apparently pretty common), a fixation of the driving seat, and a front suspension ball joint. 
I"ve been quoted £3200 for that work at a TVR specialist, which is too much for me at the moment, so I decided to sell...
It is currently insured on a £9000 agreed value.
This could be either a nice winter project for someone who knows his fiberglass-on-steel tubes car, or a good bargain for someone who"s got the money to fix it !  
Lots of pictures available on request, visits are welcomed... Is is located in Warwick, and I"d like to be paid by cash on collection.
I could accept a part exchange for something fun, reliable, and cheaper than my car.
