- Finished in striking Fire Cracker Red, this 1997 Chimaera 4.0 presents smartly throughout, combining TVR’s unmistakable styling with the evocative soundtrack and engaging performance of its 4.0-litre V8
- Purchased by the present custodian in 2016 from the respected motoring journalist Ray Potter, the car has been enjoyed regularly until more recently, when overseas commitments curtailed its use
- The interior has recently been retrimmed in cream and dark red hide, with TVR logos embossed into the seats, complemented by newly fitted carpets and renewed dashboard veneers
- Further enhancements include a new hood and a carbon-effect targa roof panel, refreshing both the appearance and practicality of this quintessential British sports car
- Accompanied by a substantial TVR history file covering the car up to 27,000 miles, together with various invoices evidencing ongoing maintenance and care
- The history file also contains the majority of its issued MOT Certificates, providing a useful record of its past
- Pleasingly, the chassis outriggers have been replaced and attended to as required, addressing a recognised area of concern on TVRs of this era
- The handbook, service book and two keys are present. Reported to drive superbly, this charismatic Chimaera offers a compelling opportunity to enjoy traditional British V8 motoring, with inspection welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer
