Many new engine parts, including adjustable pushrods, a new cam, an oil pump, and more, ensure optimal performance and reliability without sacrificing the original character of this iconic powerplant. With regular oil changes and meticulous maintenance, this Chimaera is ready to conquer the open road for years to come.
Enhanced braking performance, improved suspension, and upgraded cooling ensure confidence-inspiring handling and reliability, whether you're cruising through city streets or carving up mountain roads. With its full respray and subtle colour change to a deep blue-black hue, this Chimaera stands out in any setting.
Accompanied by two sets of keys, the original owner manual, and the revered Steve Heath Bible, this 2000 TVR Chimaera 500 Series is not just a car—it's a piece of automotive history, meticulously restored and upgraded for the discerning enthusiast.
