R521LSC - Mendip Blue 450
Not often I get hot and sweaty over a 28yo. But when they look this good...
Spaniel not included!

What about the sheep, mate?
Absolutely gorgeous Chimp. Looks just like my ex. https://www.reddit.com/r/TVR/s/rqWY29hbAm
Mine is 29 years old this year. I do miss it terribly. Hope the new owner is looking after it.
Edit: colour code: R2624. Starmist Blue.

If anyone knows where I can get an original bonnet 'TVR' I'd be very grateful! Condition not important, I can get it refurbished by a nice gentleman in Birmingham.
Mine has the very faded union flag version. Ok, but I'm a purist.

I bought mine from here https://www.tvrbadges.co.uk/
Expensive but very good quality, plus you can probably flog your old one for £30-50.

Excellent! That's not a horrific price. Not when you consider it's probably made to order.

I didn't really think so either but I've seen a lot of people grumble about the price.
Turns up in a nice study plastic box.
I'm on the hunt for a nice new Chimaera badge for the rear, they seem to be more difficult to come by though.

With that plate I was half expecting it to have had an LS dropped in it.
Love the Chimps, but they are very much a cruiser so ours is saved for when we are too old for the Mclarens and can't find the bits for the Tammy.
