TVR Chimaera '93

The TVR Chimaera is a two-seater convertible sports car manufactured between 1992 and 2003. The name was derived from Chimaera, a monstrous creature of the Greek myhology, which was made of the parts of multiple animals.  The car used the same backbone chassis as the Griffith and used the same derivatives of the Rover V8 engine. The Chimaera was intended to be the long distance tourer of the range and as such was longer, more spacious and had slightly softer suspension than its sister car.
