The Blackpool-born company started around 1947 and has produced some of the most iconic lightweight sports cars the UK has ever seen. The Chimaera hits the sweet spot between a highly focused performance car and a usable weekend toy. Under the lightweight fibreglass bonnet, you'll find the Rover V8 - built around simple and strong mechanics - underneath the body, the Chimaera was based on the same tubular chassis as the Griffith, but with more forgiving suspension and more luggage space. As time passed, it quickly became TVR's best-selling model, surpassing the Griffith, and despite its laid-back setting, many actually preferred the handling balance of the Chimaera.This well maintained car comes with its original service book, complete with extra pages to extend the history. Joining the 4.0-litre V8 is a sports exhaust, new tyres, leather interior and outriggers replaced. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and more detailed description of this vehicle on our website, which will answer all of your burning questions.
