1999 TVR Chimaera | Mirfield, West Yorkshire

A 1999 TVR Chimaera, the open two-seat roadster from Blackpool with a Rover-derived V8 up front. TVR planned it as the long-distance car of its range, so it is longer and roomier than the Griffith, with softer suspension. It is remembered for its loud V8 sound and compact shape. This car is silver with a cream interior, a light pairing that reads cleanly in daylight and on screen. Its V8 is 4.5 litres, and the condition is very good. With the roof down, both occupants sit in clear view. Photography, fashion and editorial work gain from the open cockpit and cream interior, which show the people in shot. Music video and advertising suit its V8 sound and 1990s British sports-car look. It also makes a lively choice for a wedding or birthday. The car is based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.
