I really need to go and drive one now you've said that! I drove a Griffith back in the 90s but from what I hear the Chim is a better tourer? I'd like a T350T but I'm not sure about the Speed Six engine compared to a nice juicy V8! Also probably not as well suited to touring and expensive. Chimaeras seem to be the bargain in TVR world atm. Way better value to be had than any other model.

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Is there anyone local who can be persuaded to collect for the next Auto-Jumble, please?

Many happy returns, John, from Mr & Mrs H. Enjoy the day.

Thanks.

As title anyone got one lurking in their garage they dont want. in good condition

Hi Sorry my error should have said this is for the wide body car came off an seiw. The measurement you wanted across it to the widest point on the mounting plates is 100cm hope this helps thanks

@Flying Carrot Steve they are really good to drive, a lovely summer cruiser to just enjoy and have a little prod of the torque every now and then.

I've been after a cage for my narrow live axled car. Could you let me know what this one is for if Pete isn't interested please.

Is there no one out there making Carbon Fibre Blade style aero screens and half doors these days lol. I'm currently rebuilding my Westfield and coming close to painting and would really like to try source these parts 😭. surely it can’t be that hard to get hold of haha

Hi Mat. I have set of standard width ZK rear arches for sale

HI Chris Would you be able to measure across the length of the bar, from both outside edges of the mounting plates? Thanks Pete

A4Gom, thanks for the offer but I had the one off John Ryan. Bestest Phil

Thirsty work all this touring….

For sale an MSA roll bar built by a company called playskool (well known for roll cages etc) it would suit anyone 6ft plus. £255 collection only worcs (now removed from car) thanks - will advertise elsewhere if no ones interested.

welcome to the club...and we like to see photos.

Yes that would have been us, thought we might miss the rain, at least it gave the motor a bit of a clean...

I've been considering one for a while but timing is all wrong right this minute. That should sell at that price, very cheap for a 500!

Absolutely right ^^^^ A rear end damage as your photo could have involved more on your Westie than first seen. The only way to check is to remove bodywork to see. Please DONT until it has passed the insurance assessment. They may send an engineer out. If it looks like it has had partial removal of parts it may give problems down the line. I say this as you mentioned how badly the other vehicle faired! very frustrating and sad. I am sure she will be repaired but don’t rush into it. Andy

No problem thanks for confirming

No worries.

Tvr chimaera 500. 112k miles, has good service history with main dealer records for approximately every 5000 miles throughout its life up to 96k miles. Just had a full service including all fluids, filters, full checkover, rear pads, strip and clean brakes, new front tyres and spark plugs. Full mot. The car is registered as cat n, i run a bodyshop and brought it with very light damage on the rear 1/4 and have fully repaired it and painted both sides and the rear end. I have all photos to show this. The paintwork is in excellent condition, as are the wheels. The interior is original and in good condition, shows some wear as to be expected but overall its clean The hood looks to have been replaced recently and is excellent. The chassis was in good condition when i brought it with no protective coatings. Its had the outriggers replaced in the past. I gave it a good clean up and treated it with dinitrol rc 900 and dinitrol black schutz. Under the bonnet is original and does show its age a bit, but its all there working and runs well. The underbonnet heatshielding has just been replaced. Overall all its a clean, tidy and honest car ready to use, it drives really well. A cheap way into a 500 because of the cat marker. £11995. Would take a p/x but only if its at a trade price.

Sorry to hear your news however the Captain is correct in making sure there is no damage to the chassis and carefully check the wishbones, rear upright and wheel as if it hit the wheel so hard to do lots of damage to his tin top it might have some hidden, if there is any damage like that it will give a whole differrent approach. Do your research and get all the prices you estimate and leave a contingency as often when you strip things down a bit extra damage is found. Most insurance companies will accept you doing the work yourself on something like this but to get best value make sure you value your time adequately and remember you are being disadvantaged with no car to use whilst you do the work. There is a guy who is based in Newbury , Andy Westgate, who runs Westgate Composites, who could fix all the fiberglass and is highly regarded but as others have said boat companies do have the skills.

About to put a clamshell 1999 kit SE Narrow Westfield version of BRG back on the road/hill. Live 6 miles from Shelsley!! Quaife LSD, Type 9 Box, Wilwoods, Lucas 1130 Torpedo's, stretched steel Burton Kent with 45's and trackday boots. Yes, roll bar needs sorting! Can anyone help with alloy or stainless rear arch protectors... money waiting. (Not carbon or tupperware carbon lookalike please).

Hi Dave, I appreciate your comments, my rant I feel would be better off staying in the members only domain, or being deleted altogether. It wasn't intended to bash Lancaster but to highlight the frustrations that I was having in trying to deal with them. I wouldn't like to think that my rant might harm relationships between the club and a sponsor so If you or any other admin want to move to a more appropriate area or delete it I'm fine with that. Nem.......

@Nemesis while your rant (tm) is valid and justified, and should be heard. This is the issues specifically related to the Club website and forum. It’s also members only, so the chances of anyone from Lancaster seeing it, are very, very slim, I’m afraid. However, any admin can move it, and the related posts to the Start Line if you like, for maximum exposure…
