About this car

A 1999 TVR Chimaera 4.0 in Starmist Blue, with a Magnolia interior and blue hood and carpets. The Chimaera pairs a light, glassfibre-bodied roadster with a Rover-derived V8, and at just over 40,000 miles this one has covered little distance for its age.

It has had two previous owners, who lived in Jersey and Guernsey before the car returned to the UK. In September 2025 it received a large 12,000-mile service from TVR specialists Sportmotive, along with upgraded silicone hoses and new fuel pipes.

Recent changes include a new walnut veneer dash, Fox Racing FX004 wheels, an alarm updated to add boot release, and blue seatbelts. The leather interior was restored in 2022. The MOT runs until 3 October 2027.
