I have told you before james, how long it took me to finally buy one , after dilly dallying , pontificating and talking myself out of several. Just get the best you can afford and expect there to be ongoing repairs and improvements required. I dont regret buying mine at all , even though i have major jobs to do, its been fun collecting all the bits needed to do the gearbox job when i am ready. Just finding , buying , shipping and now owning it has been a great experience and wish i had done it years ago. The polititians i am convinced are determined to price us off the road , so if we are lucky we will have at best 10 years or so left to enjoy them. so the sooner you fulfil your dream the better.
If the cars end up worth little or nothing i dont mind as at least we had them while we still could

That’s the only thing I dislike about Corvettes, the black engine bay up to the introduction of the C4 models. ( still black but with the clamshell hood, a totally different look ) The engine bay would look so much nicer if it was body colour.At least corvette engine bays are black

I dunno , black can show off the shiny bits better , not that mines got many shiny bits compared to some .

Its cheap for a reason they always imo are. If it had been a good solid car it wouldn't be sub 20k. Which is fine if you have 10k to throw at it to get it where it needs to be.

I totally agree and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this one has some underlying issues for it to have changed hands twice in quick succession.
Having spent the past few years looking at many chrome bumper C3s for sale, I know that if you want a good one then you have to spend close to £30k these days. £35k+ if you want a really nice one.

Unfortunately not this year, James.
Weather permitting my car will be at Pilgrim Motorsport's event next Sunday. Always an interesting mix there.
