About this car

The Chimaera was TVR's most approachable Blackpool-built V8 roadster, and the 4.5 sits in the middle of the range: a Rover-derived V8 in a light fibreglass body with no driver aids. This 1998 car is finished in Crimson Stardust with a Doeskin interior, a wooden dash and deep wine carpets.

It has covered 52,136 miles and has had four previous owners. Recent work includes new outriggers, a suspension overhaul, new tyres and a new dash. The paint is said to be original apart from the nose, which has been refreshed, and interior wear is described as minimal.

MOT runs to 6 July 2027. The car will be supplied with a fresh service and a six-month dealer warranty.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (From memory, no sources checked: 285 bhp is the commonly quoted TVR claim for the Chimaera 4.5. Weight, top speed, 0-60 and exact displacement are left null because I'm not sure of TVR's published figures for this model year.).

Power: 285 bhp
Engine position: Front-engined
