This particular TVR left the factory in 1999 and being a Chimaera 500 means that this car is fitted with the biggest engine available a 5.0 litre V8. Owned by the previous keeper for over 6 years this Chimeara has been cherished and presents in great condition with just 39,000 miles on the clock.
The bodywork is finished in the stunning and very rare Rolls Royce Gold and compliments the Sandalwood hood perfectly.

About TVR
TVR, a quintessential British cottage industry and master sports car manufacturer, has a rich and storied history that spans several decades. Known for its distinctive and high-performance vehicles, TVR has left an indelible mark on the automotive world.TVR's history can be traced back to the early 1950s when Trevor Wilkinson founded the company in Blackpool, England. Initially, TVR focused on producing affordable and lightweight sports cars that offered exhilarating driving experiences. One of their early models, the TVR Grantura, gained popularity in the 1960s and set the tone for what would become a legacy of sporty and characterful cars.
Throughout the years, TVR produced a series of memorable models, each known for its unique style and impressive performance. Some of the notable models include:
TVR Griffith: Introduced in the 1960s, the Griffith was a powerful and lightweight sports car that gained a reputation for its speed and agility. It featured a V8 engine and distinctive styling.
TVR Tuscan: The Tuscan series, starting with the Tuscan V8 in the late 1960s, continued TVR's tradition of creating high-performance sports cars with bold design elements. The Tuscan line evolved over the years, with each iteration offering improved performance.
TVR Cerbera: Introduced in the 1990s, the Cerbera was notable for its unique design and the use of in-house developed engines. It was one of the fastest sports cars of its time.
TVR Sagaris: The Sagaris, launched in the 2000s, was a lightweight and aerodynamic sports car known for its aggressive styling and impressive track performance.
TVR Tuscan S: A modern version of the Tuscan, the Tuscan S featured a straight-six engine and modernized styling while staying true to TVR's sports car heritage.
TVR also gained a reputation for its "no-nonsense" approach to sports car manufacturing. Their cars were often devoid of electronic driver aids, focusing on the pure driving experience.
However, TVR faced financial challenges and ownership changes over the years, which led to periods of inactivity. The company's production ceased for some time, but TVR enthusiasts remained passionate and hopeful for a revival.
In 2020, TVR announced its comeback with the Griffith, a modern interpretation of the classic model. The new Griffith retained the essence of TVR's legacy while incorporating modern engineering and design.
In summary, TVR is an archetypal British cottage industry and a master sports car manufacturer that has consistently delivered exciting, high-performance vehicles with unique character. Despite its challenges, TVR's legacy remains alive, and its return to the automotive scene with the Griffith marked a new chapter in the company's storied history.
