Description
1998 TVR Chimeara 500
This Chimeara in Quicksilver Mica has a recently recoloured Black hood, Navy leather seats, and interior having covered only 34,891 miles from new. The all important Outriggers are in excellent condition as is the rest of the chassis (any inspection is welcome) The rear screen is clear and undamaged. In March 2026 it had a new MOT with no advisories and an oil change. It has numerous upgrades and improvements not least the Cerbera/Speed six light conversion. Other upgrades being replacement Meta alarm with remote boot release, battery relocated to the boot giving much better passenger legroom, it comes complete with a brand new battery purchased this year and a fitted battery conditioner. Carbon fibre effect console, Leven alloy stalks, stainless steel seat belt locators, extended boot opening struts, Wilwood 4 pot brake callipers with bigger discs giving much improved stopping power and a pop up screen, Apple Car play stereo enabling Sat Nav and other modern must have benefits (it can also a have rear view camera fitted, which is included but never installed) The unmarked Estoril wheels were refurbished and powder coated at 34,385 miles. A full 12,000 mile service was completed at the same time as well as brand new Toyo Proxes fitted all round. There is also a spare wheel with toolkit and roof protection bag in the boot. The paintwork is in good condition with a few marks on the body and stone chips to the front as can be expected with a 28 year old car. It runs beautifully with 30 plus psi oil pressure and cruises comfortably at 70 degrees (a new temperature sensor fitted in 2025) the fans kick in as designed at 90 degrees. Unusually for TVR's it has absolutely no oil leaks. The seats, interior and carpets are in excellent condition verifying the low mileage. The private plate will stay with the car.
The vehicle is located between Bury St Edmunds and Diss. I'm happy to take anyone interested for as long as test drive as required but I will be driving! Had a bad experience when I sold my last TVR!! Genuine reason for sale, please no dealers or part exchange offers.
