For sale my 1997 TVR Chimaera 4. 0l HC in Halcyon Midas Pearl
For sale my beautiful TVR Chimaera in ‘Halycon Midas Pearl,’ this is a rare pearlescent flip paint which looks amazing in the sun and photos don't do it justice. The condition is excellent with only a small amount of age related marks. Never recorded as accident damaged or written off. It has been owned and meticulously cared for by me for the last 2 years, I have owned multiple TVR’s and a TVR club member. It comes with a comprehensive 2-inch-thick folder of paperwork full of receipts, service history, MOT’s and paperwork for everything done to the car; see the photo which only shows 50% of the paperwork!
This is a great example for somebody wanting to get into TVR ownership that doesn’t require any work, all the known issues have already been resolved or upgraded. A house move on the way means I’ve decided to spare some money and sell my toy and buy something cheaper. The general spec is as follows:

This is a very clean, excellent condition example that’s ready to be enjoyed. I have put a lot of time and effort into making this a clean and reliable example to be driven. I have a full walk around video of this car I am happy to send to any interested buyers along with more images, although viewing is essential as the condition and paperwork sells this car itself. I have reduced the price to sell and I feel it is excellent value, I may be open to very close offers. Serious inquires please call or message me, the car is located in Rugby, West Mids although I am happy to meet potential buyers within a reasonable distance. Thanks, Lewis
