The CarGurus verdict
A TVR Chimaera is without doubt a specialist car, and it needs the kind of owner who’s willing to put it up with its foibles. If you want a car that’s easy to use and easy to drive, perhaps something you can use every day but that can deliver a thrill or two when you’re in the mood, then you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

If, however, you’re after a car for high days and holidays that can deliver sheer, unbridled drama off the bat, and you’re prepared to take extra care when driving it, keeping in mind its lack of safety kit, then you’re in the right place.

Buy a well-maintained example and it should even be pretty dependable, and those simple mechanicals are easy to fix as and when they do go wrong. A good Chimaera is immensely rewarding, and on a sunny day it’s a wonderful thing to be able to bring out of the garage and enjoy.
