About this car

The Chimaera 400 is the mid-range car in TVR's 1990s V8 line-up, pairing a 3,952cc Rover-derived V8 with a light tubular steel chassis and a five-speed manual gearbox. With 240 bhp in a small, light roadster, it is quick, loud and very much a driver's car.

This 1999 example is finished in Starmist Green with a green mohair hood and Magnolia and Fern green leather. It has a sports exhaust, a limited-slip rear differential and silver five-spoke alloys, 15 inch at the front and 16 inch at the rear.

It has covered 80,742 miles. The dealer reports a fresh service, a new 12-month MOT and a chassis and underside in good condition. It also comes with the dealer's own warranty.
