Description
1998 TVR Chimaera 450 PAS - 43, 000 miles - Eclipse Blue - BRAND NEW OUTRIGGERS
Eclipse Blue, with Portland Grey hide and navy carpets, upgraded brakes.
Please Note: This car is a CAT D Total Loss - Light front wing damage in 2005. - It makes the car much cheaper, but there are no visible signs of the damage, and it was repaired to a very nice standard by a body shop in Poole.
(The car was just TOO nice to send out into the trade, and the service history and overall condition of the car made it too good to not have a crack at. So we've pulled the pin and new shiny outriggers are being fitted and the car will be ready for the end of the month. To give you an idea, we've just sold a Starmist Blue Chim with 31k on for £19, 999, and this car looks and drives just as nicely. So, grab a bargain....)
So, it remains a lovely example, and it's the sought-after 450 model, with PAS, and a bargain price due to the historic insurance claim.
This car comes in with a great spec and colour combo, and all the important jobs done.
We are currently fitting a new set of bespoke, made-from-scratch outriggers, zinc primed and powder coated.
The car has also had a recent camshaft at TVRSSW. We are also currently replacing all the fuel hoses, new engine mounts, new suspension arm bushes, new rear main oil seal, and gearbox seals, plus any other bits and bobs we'll find as we take her apart... along with a service prior to collection.
* Depending on how quickly it sells, other work could be done while the car is still on the ramp, so please get in touch ASAP if that appeals. This would be at an additional cost, but could be much more cost-effective for the buyer. I would estimate the window on this option will close around the 20th of December.
Photos of the chassis will be posted up as soon as it's finished.
The paintwork is in really good order, with just one or two age related marks. Alloys are also in good order, with just the odd small mark. The hood follows a similar pattern, not new, but in good fettle. The interior is very good, the navy carpets have been replaced, and the leather has worn well, with just the usual small amount of wear to the drivers bolster. The dash has been replaced with the popular aluminium one, which suits this colour combination.
