About this car
The Chimaera 4.5 is the mid-range car in TVR's 1990s V8 roadster line-up, pairing a lightweight fibreglass body with a tubular steel backbone chassis and 285 bhp from its Rover-derived V8. This 1998 manual example has covered 45,213 miles.
The seller says the chassis outriggers, the usual weak point on these cars, are sound. Recent work includes a new rocker cover, exhaust manifold and gaskets, drive belt and four CV boots, plus a service with new fuel pipe, filter and hoses and new lambda sensors.
Modifications include a Racetech cooling fan kit, GAZ adjustable coilovers and an upgraded hose kit. It sits on 17-inch Bola B2R wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres, and the cabin has full hide trim and power-assisted steering.

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.).
