About this car

This 2000 TVR Chimaera has the later 4.5-litre engine, which the dealer describes as a rare late-specification car. It is finished in Starmist Blue with a Magnolia and Prussian hide interior.

The main work is a full chassis, suspension and brake restoration completed in 2023. The chassis was lifted and blasted, both outriggers were replaced and the frame was powder coated. All four front and rear wishbones were renewed, along with the bushes, GAZ adjustable suspension, discs, pads, flexible brake hoses and four tyres. The calipers were reconditioned. A new camshaft, lifters and valley gasket went in during 2021.

The car has the latest-style vertical boot opening, rear lights, fuel tank and filler, wiper system and 2000-model gauges. It also has Estoril 500 alloys, power steering, a wooden dashboard and ACT silicone hoses. It has covered 104,230 miles and comes with an extensive service history.
