The TVR Chimaera 500 was never built to be subtle and this one certainly isn’t. Lightweight, aggressive, and powered by a thunderous V8, this is the kind of car that turns every drive into an occasion.
Fitted with a rebuilt 5.0L V8, the car starts easily, runs well, and absolutely sounds the part. Performance is exactly what you’d expect from a Chimaera quick, exciting, and full of character.
The car has been repainted and presents well overall, complemented by a functional soft top and working electronics — something not always guaranteed on a TVR.
Additional highlights:
* Goes really well
* Electronics functional
* Presents well throughout
* Papers in order
This is not a polished luxury car.
This is a proper analogue sports car with attitude.
A rare opportunity to own one of Britain’s wildest V8 roadsters at exceptional value.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East for viewings per appointment only.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality.
What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars.
If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
