“The TVR Chimaera is without doubt the best way to access the joys of TVR ownership. Less intimidating and more thoroughly sorted than the Cerbera and Griffith models, it nonetheless offers 95% of the thrills.” RAC.co.uk
Introduced at the 1992 Motor Show, the Chimaera was intended to be a more practical, user-friendly machine than the formidable Griffith. To this end, it sported a proper boot and a more cosseting interior. Power came from a variety of Rover V8-derived units, though, even the entry-level 4.0 litre was quoted as developing 240bhp/270lbft. The slowest of the range, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 12.1 seconds and 152mph! Luckily all Chimaeras came with four-wheel disc brakes and a Quaife differential as standard. A 4.5-litre model was added to the line-up in 1997, with the Chimaera 450 said to offer 285bhp and 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds.
Owned by the vendor for 2 years this example is finished in Starmist Blue which is complemented by a beige and blue leather interior. Displaying a warranted c.62,000 miles it benefits from a recent oil change in preparation for sale and the chassis outriggers have been replaced in the current ownership. Offered with history file, current MOT to July 2026 and Swansea V5C.
