Buyer’s notes
About the TVR Chimaera 4.0
The Chimaera of 1992 was a two-seat roadster on the same chassis as the Griffith, with a glassfibre body and a five-speed manual gearbox; the 4.0-litre Rover V8 gave 240 bhp. It was built until 2003.
What moves the price
- Chassis condition, the biggest factor.
- Engine size and specification.
- History: specialist chassis and engine work on record, with receipts.
Before you buy, check
- The outriggers and lower main rails, especially on the nearside, the quality of any welding, and fresh underseal that may hide rot.
- Crash damage and chassis alignment, and delamination around the screen, a sign of water getting in.
- Clutch slip, the heater pipes under the dash, and every electrical item.
