    I've just finished doing a gasket refresh rebuild and full interior refresh of a Chimaera 400 that I acquired earlier this year that had been sitting in storage for years. It was love at first drive and a pleasure to work on. Parts are a bit tricky to come by here in South Africa but totally worth the hunt. Brilliant cars. I had a laugh when the door pulled a character on you in the beginning. Love it.

    Nice little review Kev, I’m a sucker for a Cerbera myself.

    Same wheel base as a Mazda MX5, same HP as a 911 but 500kg lighter. I love driving them on steep winding roads. They are fun at any speed and not slow. Zero to 60 in 5 - 6 seconds was dam quick 25 years ago!

      Don’t believe the bhp figures though……all owners know they are ‘massaged’

    Great video and a lovely car. But if it is a 93 then the front end has been changed to that of a later model.

    TVRs are the best cars... in the world! Safety features include brakes and enough power to get you out of scrapes :)

    I have a Chimaera and its a great car. I reckon they are seriously undervalued so definitely worth a look for a fun 2nd car

      I have a 4.5 Chimaera as a second car. My first car is also a 4.5 Chimaera.

    I am pleased that you enjoyed it - TVR was a superb unique company, as are their cars. The spreading of jealous rumours by the unnitiated re reliability has kept prices down for enthusiasts to enjoy them.
    That will all change in a few yrs as cars become more and more sanatised. Cars like the legendary Griffith will sky rocket in value ;)

    These are drivers cars….no drivers aids. You have to know what you’re doing to drive them fast. Once had a race in my old Chimaera with a guy in a skyline who span off at a roundabout…….😂 his girlfriend was going nuts in the passenger seat…….driver experience over technology 😂😂😂😂

      Just take a bit of learning…..you need the mindset of a bike rider….always aware of road conditions, grip levels, and your driver inputs
