Description

Introduction to a British Icon

We are delighted to present this stunning 1998 TVR Chimaera, a true icon of British sports car engineering. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of motoring history that combines raw performance with classic, head-turning style. Presented in a captivating Blue exterior, this Chimaera boasts a low mileage of just 63,200 miles and is offered with a part service history. As a family-run business with a reputation built since 1979, we pride ourselves on presenting exceptional vehicles like this, each having passed our rigorous pre-sales inspection.

Exhilarating Performance & Engineering

At the heart of this TVR Chimaera lies its magnificent 4.0-litre V8 engine, a naturally aspirated unit delivering an authentic and thrilling driving experience. Producing 240 bhp and a substantial 352 Nm of torque, this car offers explosive acceleration and a spine-tingling exhaust note that is pure TVR. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a precise 5-speed manual transmission, giving you complete control and an engaging, connected drive that modern sports cars often lack. With a top speed of 152 kph, it promises endless excitement on every journey.

Stunning Design & Condition

This Chimaera is a testament to timeless design. Its sleek, low-slung profile, dramatic curves, and classic Blue convertible bodywork ensure it stands out in any setting. The condition, as noted in its advert, is described as fantastic and stunning. The iconic TVR silhouette, with its long bonnet and short rear deck, is in excellent order, reflecting careful ownership. As a rear-wheel drive, two-seater convertible, it offers the quintessential open-top sports car experience, perfect for enjoying summer roads.

Ownership History & Provenance

This 1998 model has had 8 previous owners, which is not uncommon for a cherished, enthusiast-owned car of this age. It comes with a part service history, providing valuable insight into its maintenance over the years. The recorded mileage of 63,200 miles is exceptionally low for a car of this era, suggesting it has been used and enjoyed as a special occasion vehicle rather than a daily driver. This careful use contributes significantly to its overall excellent condition and mechanical integrity.

Practicality & Modern Considerations

While it is a focused sports car, the Chimaera offers surprising usability. Its Petrol V8 engine, while powerful, falls into a classic vehicle tax band. As a pre-2001 vehicle, its Euro 1 (E1) emissions status is an important factor for potential urban zone charges, so we recommend buyers check local regulations like ULEZ. The car features fuel injection for improved reliability over older carburettor systems. With dimensions of 4015mm in length and 1865mm in width, it has a commanding yet agile road presence.

Why Choose This TVR Chimaera?

This 1998 TVR Chimaera represents a vanishing breed of analogue, driver-focused sports cars. It offers an unadulterated, sensory driving experience that is increasingly hard to find. The combination of its powerful 4.0-litre V8, engaging manual gearbox, low mileage, and reported fantastic condition makes it a highly compelling proposition. It is more than just a car; it is an event every time you turn the key. We invite serious enthusiasts to inspect this remarkable British classic.
