TVR Chimaera 5.0 V8 - Opaque Pearl - Only 24,034 Miles - 1997 - Rare, Loved, & Ready for Summer This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive TVRs ever made - a factory-finished Opaque Pearl Chimaera 500, with just 24,034 miles and a charming ownership story. Only two TVRs were ever painted in this colour - the other famously owned by David Beckham - and the pearl effect in sunlight is something special. Cherished History The car's first owner was a lifelong enthusiast who sadly developed a health condition, meaning it was rarely driven for nearly a decade. His son had the car fully recommissioned by Amore Autos - respected TVR specialists in Bristol - with no expense spared. It was then enjoyed by a younger retired golf lover, used only on dry, sunny days for leisurely drives to the club. I bought it last year as a birthday present for my wife, and while we've loved the idea of owning it, we've only taken it to one TVR event and a few Sunday morning drives for coffee and cake. Now it's time for someone new to take the wheel and enjoy everything this incredible car has to offer.
