INTERIOR The upgraded Cerbera sports seats were an expensive factory option along with the Monza steering wheel and beautifully machined polished aluminium interior fittings from Leven TVR Products. The navy seats trimmed in full hide are in remarkable order with only light aging to the driver’s upper bolster. The large padded central tunnel and padded dash top are trimmed to match the seats and the contrasting walnut fascia and polished interior fittings complement each other beautifully. This example incorporates vinyl inner door trim, a feature on only the very late Chimaera’s. Beautiful heating control wheels and the ingenious central door release knob are machined from solid aluminium bar stock with fluted edges. All functions and controls operate perfectly and the AccuMate battery conditioner is professionally wired in and neatly positioned in a compartment behind the passenger seat. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION At the heart of this ferocious TVR Chimaera 450 is the aluminium V8 engine of 4546cc displacement. Developing 285bhp and 300lb.ft of torque in a vehicle weighing just 1060kg, performance is truly a white knuckle experience to set the pulse racing. An expensive ACT sports exhaust upgrade system further improves performance and enhances the satisfying TVR thunderous rumble. The five speed manual transmission offers direct short throw changes and the spherical aluminium gear knob is a superb finishing touch. WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES The TVR Spider wheels were upgraded as a factory option to incorporate 16in front rims to match the rear as opposed to the standard 15in front items. These alloy wheels are beautifully preserved with only miniscule faint scratches visible and three still have the TVR transfer visable. Matching Toyo Proxes tyres
