Beskrivning

TVR’s Griffith and Chimaera duo may be named after fierce and frightening mythical creatures, but the prospect of owning either of the cars themselves should be nothing to be scared away by! This book pays no attention to the various myths and tall-tales surrounding these cars, and instead offers buying advice and tips to the potential custodian of either of these brutish British sports cars. Few cars manage to both stir the soul and raise the pulse in the way a TVR can, and the ownership experience can be an extremely rewarding one.Having this book in your pocket is just like having a real marque expert by your side. Benefit from Richard Kitchen’s years of TVR ownership and experience, learn how to spot a bad example quickly, and how to assess a promising one like a professional. Get the right TVR Chimaera or Griffith at the right price! Packed with good advice – from running costs, through paperwork, vital statistics, valuation, and the TVR community, to whether a TVR Chimaera or Griffith will suit you and your lifestyle – this is THE COMPLETE GUIDE to choosing, assessing and buying the car of your dreams.

Mer om författaren

Richard Kitchen was born in Winchester, and grew up in Eastleigh, near Southampton. He developed a love of cars from a very early age, and grew to become obsessed by all things automotive. Despite starting a career in IT, his love of TVRs turned into a business in 2012, when he took over the running of Southways Automotive Ltd, now a renowned classic TVR specialist. A father of three boys, and husband to a long-suffering wife, Richard has restored, or had a first-hand in the body-off chassis restorations of many TVRs over the past few years. He owns a TVR S1 and an S2, and previously owned a Chimaera 400.
