About this car

This is billed as the last Chimaera TVR built, a 2003 car first serviced at 17 miles by Hawthorns TVR. It is also the only Chimaera running a Speed Six engine, which makes it an unusual take on a model that was normally sold with Rover V8 power.

The history explains the engine. The original Rover V8 failed in 2007 and was replaced, the second V8 failed in 2009, and a Speed Six 4.0 was fitted. A 4.3-litre Speed Six with an MBE ECU and new clutch followed in 2013, all work done by TVR Power. Other changes include AP front calipers, a TVR Power radiator, Bilstein suspension, 18-inch alloys and a Becker multimedia head unit.

It is finished in Flame Yellow with a black half-hide interior, black ash dashboard and yellow dials. It shows 27,150 miles and has had three owners. The file holds the TVR service book, old bills and MOTs, plus a TVR Power letter of provenance covering the £25,000 build.
