1997 TVR Chimaera 4.0l HC 'Halcyon Midas Pearl' For Sale
Here is my wonderful Halcyon Midas Pearl TVR Chimaera, I've never seen another Chimaera in this flip pearlescent colour. Owned and meticulously cared for example by a true enthusiast and TVR car club member. This car has been cherished all its life, with a 2-inch-thick folder of paperwork the most comprehensive I've ever seen the previous owners really spared no expense. A perfect example for somebody wanting to get into TVR ownership with all the known issues already resolved or upgraded. Spec and mods as follows:
4. 0lHC V8 275bhp/ 305lbft
5 Speed Manual T5
MOT until 29th March 2019 no advisories
Last serviced 66, 000 miles
‘Massive’ A4 folder of paperwork
Electric windows
Electric heated mirrors
Rare power steering
HPI Clear
2 Keys/ FOB's
Blue leather interior
4 excellent tyres Pirelli/ Toyo
All electrics work perfectly in the car which is rare for a TVR! The Speedo was replaced at 60, 000 for an odo now reading 52, 000, real mileage is 69, 500. The chassis is in excellent condition, outriggers were replaced and its had a recent under seal, the camshaft and followers were replaced, common problem with these engines. A massive alluminium radiator and twin electric fans fitted, runs 70 degrees all day long and has never overheated. The highly desirable Carl Baker Cat 1 alarm system and boot release upgrade has been fitted. Another common problem resolved with a new starter motor and the hot start mod was added, new engine mounts fitted, and the previous owner had the steering rack refurbished. The clutch was last replaced at 48, 000 miles and feels like new still.
In my ownership I have also fitted a new P/ S door open solenoid and button, a new wiper park switch, I’ve had multiple parts of the car resprayed to repair scratches and paint damage around the car. New valve cover gaskets installed, all roof seals replaced, new passenger seat belt, new number plates, upgraded bulbs, aero wiper blades. Multiple modifications have been done as follows:
Silverstone Performance SP12 Wheels 7J x 17” + 8J x 18”
Front winglets, bolt on for easy removal
Sleeved exhaust, sounds incredible!
Tornado ECU Performance chip
Gaz gold coilovers
‘Personal’ aftermarket steering wheel
Pioneer head unit
Carbon style dash panel
Clear indicator upgrade
This is a very clean, excellent condition example that’s ready to be enjoyed. I’ll be very sad to see this car go as I’ve worked so hard to get it mint, these are appreciating rapidly with the return of TVR, turn the key and just enjoy it! I have priced this very fairly at what I believe is bang on the value so please no offers, serious buyers feel free to call and discuss. Please view the car as the condition speaks for itself. Inquires please contact Lewis on the details below, the car is located in Rugby.
£15, 800
