Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional 2000 TVR Chimera 450, finished in the striking and rarely seen Sunset Pearl Yellow over a beautifull Blue hide interior, complete with elegant wood trim detailing throughout and those fantastic, matching yellow dials.
Power comes from the glorious 4. 5-litre Rover V8, paired to the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox, delivering the unmistakable soundtrack and analogue driving experience that has made the Chimaera such a celebrated modern classic in today’s world.
The exterior of this example presents superbly - near factory fresh Infact. The bodywork is in outstanding condition with an exceptional finish throughout, while the original blue soft top roof remains immaculate and free from notable wear or damage. Accompanying the car is the factory carbon fibre roof panel, also in excellent condition.
Supporting the uniqueness of this Chimera are just three previous owners and a remarkably low mileage of only 18, 000 miles from new. It is becoming increasingly difficult to source examples that remain this original and unmodified.
The car is supplied with an excellent history file including the original blue V5, owners handbook, two keys and a service booklet containing eight stamps from specialists and independent garages despite the modest mileage covered. Most recently the car has been maintained by the renowned performance specialists Hilton & Moss.
Freshly prepared for sale, the car benefits from a new 12-month MOT valid until April 2027 alongside an interim oil and filter service, replacement track rod end gaiters, front anti-roll bar drop links and a brake fluid change.
Further notable maintenance includes a scheduled 12k mile service in 2021, at which point the valley gasket, sump gasket, clutch master and slave cylinders, and steering rack gaiters were all replaced accordingly.
The alloy wheels are unmarked and fitted with matching Continental tyres all round. Internally the cabin is equally impressive.
A truly fabulous and increasingly hard-to-find example of the Chimera 450.
