1997 TVR Chimaera 400 - Very nice example - Just prepped. For Sale

DEPOSIT TAKEN

1997 P TVR Chimaera 400 (Part facelift). - Videos and Hi-Res images below.

34, 800 miles from new last owner since Jan 2005. In that time the car has covered just 8000 miles.

Just fully serviced and prepped by Shmoo Automotive.

A rundown of the main things we've just done:

FULL 12k Service (Inc New Serp belt, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Diff oil, Gearbox oil, Coolant, Plugs).
New engine mounts
Adjust doors
Bleed Clutch and Brakes
All new fuel hoses
Rear upper arm bushes
New CV Boots
Fit missing thrust washers
New rear brake pads
New clutch slave
New washer pipes
Rectify faulty mirrors
Trace battery drain and rectify
Check and touch up chassis
4 x Uniroyal Rainsports (Some excellent comments about these on the owners forums).
Full machine mop and interior valet




The car is in very nice condition and the original chassis is excellent due to the car being well protected and mainly kept in a dry garage over the last 14yrs.

A few blemishes as to be expected on a 23yr old TVR, but the car does look smart.

Finished in Viper Blue with Magnolia, and mid-blue carpets.   Viper blue is a rare colour and we've never had a Chimaera in this shade of blue before.

Drives really well and a standard car, so exhaust is a burble rather than a roar.

Priced and prepped well with a very good chassis, this car would be an ideal Chimaera for someone looking to get into TVR ownership, but with a later face-lifted car, and all the benefits that offers.

This one is as God intended, with a non-PAS rack, yes it's a little heavier until the wheels are rolling, but the feedback from the rack is better on the move, and it's one less thing to worry about cost wise in the future.

Read a few of the 50 odd testimonials to see how we work. :)  You'll find a link on the front page of the website.
