Registered in January 1999, this TVR Chimaera with Portland Grey leather interior and blue Wilton carpet, features the 3950cc version of Rover's V8 engine. Its last MoT expired in December 2021. The odometer shows 73,824 miles and four former registered keepers are showing on the V5C.
Among the work done on the car, for which there are £1400-plus of invoices in the history folder, are body-off repairs to the chassis in 2015.
The paperwork file includes the V5C, a large stack of invoices from throughout the car's life, showing considerable care and attention over the years. There's a bill of sale from June 1999, when the car was just six months old and another from May 2002. The MoT certificates date from 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2018 and 2020, and there's a selection of old tax discs too. In addition, there's an undated letter from a previous owner which states that the chassis was painted and Waxoyled at 41,500 miles and, up until circa 50,000 miles, always garaged.
