PH Auctions are finally here! This stunning 1995 TVR Chimaera seems like the perfect place to start.
Hard to believe that PistonHeads has been the home of buying and selling enthusiast-owned cars for 25 years now. And even when you're not in the market, we all know the classifieds have a way of drawing you back in, like a moth to a laptop screen. There's just too much good stuff out there - and too few hours in the day to look at it. has finally landed, and our first batch of cars will be going live over the next few days.
Like all British sports cars ever, the Chimaera was offered with an assortment of engines. This 1995 example comes with the Rover 4.0-litre V8 up front, developing 240hp, 270lb ft of torque and one hell of a rumble. Remember, there’s little over a tonne of metal, glass fibre and leather to shift, which is why the Chimaera is able to muster a 0-60mph sprint in just 5.1 seconds with, relatively speaking, not a huge amount of grunt.
Of course, that’s all part of the excitement of TVR ownership. Crucially, though, you’ll want to head into this one with the knowledge that it’s been well-maintained by someone who knows their TVRs inside and out. Thankfully, the seller of this Chimaera looks to be of that ilk. Having covered a little over 49,000 miles since 1995, the car has undergone a full Waxoyl protection underneath, along with new seals for the gearbox and differential.
Save for a few stone chips here and there - which is obviously to be expected of a 28-year-old car - the Chimaera is said to be in pristine condition. And just look at the interior. A mix of green and cream leather matches the exterior perfectly, especially the green carpets that extend all the way up to the door inserts. It’s something the general public really needs to see , so pop the targa top off and make the most of the late summer we’re apparently in for.
