A well-sorted, properly maintained Chimaera that’s ready to be enjoyed by the next owner. This has been cared for by a few TVR enthusiasts its whole life , the family who owned it prior to myself passed the car from father to son substantially recommissioning it after years of garage storage to make a special wedding day. In my my own care it has had preventative maintenance and upgrades towards future proofing reliability, comfortable and useability . unforgettable memories made driving through Scottish National parks and across Germany Belgium and France.
4 previous owners, last owner since 2017. Two owners’ father and son in same family. The car has been well used in summer for several Scotland tours and continental trips and garaged in winter in current ownership. The car has been overserviced and upgraded for long trip reliability including emerald ecu, engine replacement and strength upgrade, seat refurbishment with heating and improved bolsters for comfort. Not a garage queen despite the low mileage , As per pictures, paint is good from 10 feet away , mechanically it has been set up for years of touring and special occasions.
