About this car

The Chimaera 4.0 sits in the middle of TVR's Rover V8 range: lighter and more approachable than the 5.0-litre cars, yet still quick, with 240 bhp and a quoted 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds. The dealer describes it as more forgiving to drive than the higher-powered versions.

This 1996 car is finished in metallic red with a grey leather interior. It has been used sparingly, and the page says it has covered less than 1,000 miles since the current owner bought it in 2019, though no total odometer reading is given.

A large history folder records a number of services and other work. A few small age-related marks are mentioned. The dealer plans a full service and a new set of tyres, which are described as old rather than worn. The car is currently shown as having a deposit taken.
