Description
Only 69,240 miles with an impressive service history from new; only
300 miles since last major service; driven 90 miles to the
sale
Supplied new
by TVR agents Fernhurst Motor Co of Haslemere in May 1996, this Chimaera 400 has
the 240bhp 4.0 V8 engine mated to 5-speed manual transmission which gave it
stonking performance when new – 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of
152mph if you were brave enough!
It has covered
69,240 miles to date with lots of service history and plenty of old MOTs to
warrant this figure. A good file of invoices show regular upkeep from new, the
bills showing that it has been serviced at least 18 times to date with various
new parts fitted over the years. The front end was repainted by Fernhurst in
2001 and a Metasystem alarm/immobiliser was fitted in 2008.
Our vendor acquired the car in March 2022 at which point it had
been in storage for the previous nine years. He promptly sent it to Powers
Performance of Coventry for a major service and check-over which cost £1,674 and
it has only covered around 300 miles since. It also had another minor service in
March this year.
As you can see in the photos,
it looks very presentable for its year/mileage with just a few cosmetic
blemishes here and there. The paint on the boot is not as shiny as the rest of
the car and the wiring in the passenger footwell where the battery sits is also
exposed and untidy.
Driven some 90 miles to the
sale, it has an MOT until February 2024 with no advisories recorded and has been
starting promptly and running well as we have moved it around on
site.
