Description
I purchased this car from Shmoo Automotive last year. I've used their photos - Sadly a back Injury has forced the sale
Imperial Blue with Magnolia Hide.
PAS.
T5 Gearbox.
Serpentine engine.
Upgraded brakes.
Canems ECU.
Body off restoration.
One of the finest history you will come across.
This car has been subjected to significant expenditure to turn it into one of the finest examples you will find at this price.
In 2017, the car was sent to Classic World Racing (David Gerald TVR as they were) for a full body off restoration, interior retrim, and paint rectification, to bring the car back to its former glory.
This included,
Shot blast and powder coating of chassis and wishbones
Replacing all bushes and mountings
Fitment of carbon fibre dash
New boots and gaiters
Powder coating of rocker covers
New carpet set, with retrimming of leather interior sections
Refurbishment of hood
Upgraded front and rear lights
New door seals
A CD is included in the history file showing these works.
In late 2022 it had the latest Canems fully programmable ECU conversion, along with a set of Bosch EV6 fuel injectors. The car now runs and drives as any Chimaera should, removing much of the low-speed shunting, and generally improving drivability.
In Summer 2023, the clutch was then replaced, along with the head gaskets.
Other notable works in the cars not too distant history include:
Refurbished steering rack, new alarm, rear main oil seal, new fuel sender, new battery, ACT silicone hose kit, and the all-important camshaft replacement, with new chain kit etc.
