Selling my Chimaera 500 was a big regret. Wonderful car (despite being as reliable as the Tories)
Bet that sounds great

8)If you look after them they are very reliable. My Cimaera 450 gave me no problems and travelled to South West France on numerous occasions. The V8 is bomb proof and the car is a lot less sophisticated than a Z4. And the sound track is worth every penny of the amount you spend on keeping the tank topped up. 
Many years ago, I purchased an "M" Roadster that visited the dealers many times with a front windscreen trim problems (only done 4500 miles) - it kept coming off, so much for build quality.
On one occasion I said to the Service Manager, that I'd have several TVR's and never had such problems with trim falling off and his response was, that many of his customers had told him the same story!
TVR's may be what some people call KIT cars, but aren't all the cars that we buy made from a selection of various components - alias kit cars of a different ilk.
My partner purchased a brand new car from a reputable dealer 2 years ago and when it made the ripe old age of 7 months, the electronic steering failed, hence it had to be trailered back to the dealers - reliability when buying NEW!
