TVR Chimaera 4.0 V8 – Starmist Blue | Proper British Muscle

A beautifully kept 1996 TVR Chimaera in Starmist Blue with Doeskin leather trim – this is a proper analogue British sports car with bags of character, a thunderous soundtrack, and all the right signs of care.

It’s covered just under 40,000 miles, with full documented service history up to 34,984 miles, and only around 5k miles added in the 11 years since, during which it’s been maintained by Steve personally. It’s been dry-day driven only and kept in a heated garage – a much-loved car with the history to prove it.

The chassis has been wax-oiled every year, there are no advisories on the MOT, and it’ll come with a fresh 12-month MOT on sale. Also includes the original TVR owner’s book pack, plus a folder full of receipts, including a new starter motor, alternator, and exhaust manifold gaskets.

It drives exactly as it should, with that signature V8 bark and surprisingly composed road manners. A proper experience.

A proper Chimaera in the right colour, with the right care, and none of the usual question marks.

£16,995 – a lot of noise, presence, and classic TVR charm for the money.

Honestly, I didn’t even know where to start. I’ve got two kids, work, the school run, clubs… car shopping was the last thing I had time (or headspace) for. Plus, I hate the haggling bit so much! Steve was amazing. He helped me decide what I wanted/needed, sent me a shortlist of cars based on that, helped narrow it down and even came with me to see a couple. When I found the one I liked, he sorted the deal and I just turned up, paid and drove away in my lovely new car. It was easy and I didn’t feel like an idiot once. 100% would ask Steve to help me again in a heartbeat.

– Jen, Dereham

We were really pleased with the car Steve found for us. My wife and I are in our seventies, and while we've driven for years, the buying side of things has changed so much, it's a bit overwhelming now. Steve listened to what we needed, explained everything clearly and handled the whole thing from start to finish. It took all the pressure off. We felt totally looked after and the car has been just right. Would happily recommend him to anyone.
