We are delighted to present this fantastic condition example, which perfectly embodies the raw, unfiltered spirit of TVR.

An Iconic British Sports Car

The TVR Chimaera, produced from 1992 to 2003, is revered for its lightweight composite body, powerful Rover-derived V8 engine, and classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This 1998 model represents a mature phase of the Chimaera's production, combining thrilling performance with surprising practicality for a car of its nature. Its sleek, timeless design and unmistakable presence ensure you'll stand out wherever you go.

Powerful & Engaging Performance

At the heart of this Chimaera lies its magnificent 3950cc, naturally aspirated V8 engine. Delivering 240 bhp and a substantial 352 Nm of torque, it provides explosive acceleration and a spine-tingling exhaust note that is pure mechanical theatre. Coupled to a precise 5-speed manual transmission, the driving connection is immediate and intensely rewarding. This is a car built for the joy of driving, offering a direct and engaging feel that modern sports cars often filter out.

Stunning Condition & Specification

This particular Chimaera is in fantastic condition, a testament to the care from its previous keepers. The Blue coachwork is striking, complementing the car's muscular lines and convertible profile. The interior, trimmed in supple leather, provides a classic, driver-focused environment. As a genuine two-seater convertible, it offers the ultimate open-top motoring experience, making every journey an event. The car also benefits from a part service history, indicating conscientious maintenance throughout its life.

Practical Classic Ownership

While undeniably a performance car, the Chimaera is known for being one of the more usable classic TVRs. Its boot is relatively spacious for a sports car, and the hood is manually operated for simplicity and reliability. With a stated top speed of 152 kph, its capabilities are more than ample for UK roads. As a historic vehicle, it falls into a favourable tax class, with 12-month road tax at £360.
