Roop and myself went for a run out, we turned heads everywhere we went, the noise from both cars was phenominal. Big Grins all round.

Drive it to Le Mans this year. There will be many other there like every year ! Here in France we wait for you guys ! Those TVR are really awesome cars.

I am afraid LeMans is out this year, but we may take her to the Nurburgring for a blast..!

Very nice you just need a good stretch of motorway to test the top speed out on .

On my way home this eve, I noticed a Carrera S at the lights behind me, I got onto the M-Way first then noticed it flying up behind me, next thing I was topping 140mhp on narrow lanes, so I backed it right off. Big thumbs up from the driver as he went past. Got home shaking and realised how quickly I could lose my licence..!

Ooooh!! Stunning motor!! Of all TVR's the Chimera is my favourite!!

Superb motor love! I just love the sound of a V8. My winda always shoots down when a TVR goes past. Just a tiny step up from the Vitara, But a nice step ENJOY HER!!
mr_pushrod
Very nice, we just need a video of this and the RS500 now!

Wow, gorgeous car Claire! It looks a lot like the Jaguar XK that we get on this side of the pond. If we get the TVR, I've never seen it, but I live in a rather 'rural' part of the country. Oh, and, you might want to have the steering wheel installed on the proper side of the car. Awesome car! CONGRATS and ENJOY!
ukclaire
Thanks guys..I am well chuffed with her. PushRod - We do have some vid, taken by Roop, unfortuneatly the camera fell out of the headrest, where he had wedged it, when he gave it some..! If I go to Kidd, I will take people out like Alan did in his. PE - there are some TVRs in the US but I think they are Cali way and can only keep them for 6 months, good way to have new cars all the time but bad on depreciation

Loooovely car! It is missing a tow hook though - which you'll need to tow the petrol tanker behind it (Just sold my two V8 Land Rovers as they drank fuel like it was going out of fashion.....) Always fancied one of these myself but I don't think our two kids would appreciate being left at home, now if they could just do a decent 4 seater version.......

Mud - one word - Cerbera
BellysGonnaGetchya!
I must admit I was verrry tempted to get the cerbera, But couldnt fit all the rc's in the boot so just had to get a pick up. you just beat me in 0-60 and top speed, but there is no substitute for cubic inches!! 5.4L V8 (Supercharged) 450ft.lb......Nice one Claire!!
mud4fun
LOL Claire, I currently drive a double cab pickup truck so the cerbera still looks pretty small.....do you know how much stuff you need to fit in the car when you go anywhere with a 12 month old baby and a teenage girl??!!!!**** - I'll just have to wait until they've left home (the sooner the better )
Brat Attacks
0-60 in how little? My special car does it in about oh l don't know. It takes so long l can't remember....so check out Practial Classics this months and see my baby Peugeot. Give all the details of how slow it is. Off all the 6 cars there, it was one of the biggest engined yet slowest there. Damn French!!!!!!!

It is a smart car in good nick for her age and still sounds the business. Makes RS500 sound like a limp fart...! Both got pace : [Click here]
