I have known this particular TVR from new and it was one of the most popular colour combinations of the day when we ordered this as our own demonstration car from Blackpool in late 1997
It then sort of turned out to be more my old colleague`s (Jonathan Tittensor`s) weapon of choice until we sold it to one of our existing customers who couldn`t wait the 16 months they took to come through from TVR.
Some of the quotes the motoring press had to say about the Chimaera when it was new..
“The Chimaera is great fun to drive even when you’re just tootling about”
Autocar 17 December 1997
“TVR completely blitzes the opposition, in any gear, from any speed to any speed”
BBC Top Gear Magazine March 1997
“Chassis and engine mate brilliantly”
Autocar 17 December 1997
“Behind those seats there’s a large parcel shelf and the Chimaera’s huge boot easily swallows its hard centre roof section”
BBC Top Gear Magazine March 1997
“Its spacious cockpit is a dream too, with wood, leather and polished aluminium styled by someone who truly understands interior design”
Jeremy Clarkson, BBC Top Gear Magazine March 1998
“…and I can even fit two sets of golf clubs in the boot”
Tiff Needell, BBC Top Gear Magazine March 1998
