Description

With its 4.5‑litre V8 and manual gearbox, this TVR Chimaera delivers a raw, visceral driving experience. The lightweight, rear‑wheel‑drive layout and eager V8 produce immediate throttle response and an addictive soundtrack, making it thrilling on open roads yet composed enough for everyday use. Acceleration and top speed underline its sporting character without feeling unusable.

As a convertible finished in eye‑catching Crystal Topaz with part‑leather trim, it balances flamboyance with usable comfort. The cabin is focused and engaging, with simple controls and good visibility. With a documented service history and a spare key, this Chimaera is a compelling choice for anyone seeking an emphatic classic with genuine performance.
