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.
