The TVR Chimaera is a two-seater convertible sports car manufactured by TVR between 1992 and 2003. The name was derived from Chimera, the monstrous creature of Greek mythology, which was made of the parts of multiple animals. 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. The car used the same backbone chassis as the Griffith and used the same derivatives of the Rover V8 engine.

Approx. 7000-8000 Chimaera's manufactured and from this figure only 600 psc in a stunning 5.0L version a.k.a. the legendary Chimaera 500.

Engine V8 5 liter
HP 320
Top speed 282 km/h
Acceleration 0-100 in 4.3 secs

Those taillights in second OP picture are god awful. Sort of like a blend of the Cerbera Speed Six and the Tamora/Griffith 500
 
I'm not sure about backlights maybe they are from redesigned version 1998+. You should see back lights of Griffith SE
