TVR Chimaera 4.0 1996

With a direct lineage to the earlier Griffith, the Chimaera went on to become TVR’s best-selling model. Production began in 1991 and continued through to 2003 and approximately 6,000 Chimaeras were built in total.

This is a Chimaera with the 4.0 V8 Rover engine making for a more reliable TVR experience compared to the speed 6 models

This Chim is in great condition throughout (for an old British made sports car). She’s painted in the quintessential TVR colour of starmist blue with a full leather blue and cream interior which is in great condition too.

This is the earlier pre-facelift model and certainly is the purest iteration in terms of its design.

Having said this she does benefit from some of the later alterations including 5 speed Borg Warner 5 speed gearbox, power steering and the revised alternator.

This example benefits from thousands recently spent on her in recent years and has just been treated to a £3500 overhaul by Python Racing TVR specialists.
