1997 TVR Chimaera 400
Discussion
I can see the last documented service seems to be on 17/09/2003 @ 27412 miles. Are there any invoices or documented proof of subsequent services since 2003 through to 2026?
The last couple of MOT's note an advisory for:
Oil leak, but not excessive.
Do you have any idea where that leak is coming from please?
I take it from the mileage and gap in MOT's from 2023 to 2026 that it hasn't been used much the last few years? Has it been stored outside, or covered or garaged or in dry storage please?

The car was sorn for a period of around a year. Hence gaps, very little mileage in my ownership of 11years.
Always maintained at a local garage not TVR specialist.
Always had tiny oil leak probably on sender unit (common) but I didn t bother to repair as it s tiny.
Great, thanks. Yes, only seems about 6k miles in your ownership. Shame you didn't get to enjoy it a bit more but often work/life gets in the way sadly.Always maintained at a local garage not TVR specialist.

Just wanted some confirmation there had been an oil change or two in that time really. Doesn't matter it if it were a specialist or not to change oil, filters and maybe the brake fluid to keep it happy.
I'd agree a small weep or leak sometimes isn't always worth dealing with unless it becomes more. I'd probably look to do it regardless before it became worse. Maybe it needs some of your plumbers tape around the threads
