I am conscious that I am say next is going to be very sensitive and would like to re-affirm that this is not an advert. If you are looking at buying a Z06 that is currently advertised on PH then I would suggest you contact me. There is a car currently advertised which has a suspect history and another which also raises some questions. If this information is relevant to you then feel free to get in touch. If not enjoy your day!

I am not in the market for a Z06, but thank you for the tip. I have never seen so many Z06's for sale at one time, I believe there were only 15 cars licenced during 2011 and there are six for sale on PistonHeads.

Just by looking at couple of recent additions to the classifieds I think I may have worked it out. Being sold at the same place per chance?

Lol, no not a copper, but I've kept my eye on the Corvette classifieds for some time and for some reason something just struck me about those two adverts.

I got badly stung on a standard c6, bought in good faith from a dealer who I can't name here due to the rules but advertises on this site, turned out to be a write off in america. Should have checked but I just did an hpi and trusted the dealer on the rest. Some obscure law (which he knew very well) says I had no comeback since the damage was in america and I did manage to get him to buy it back but for a lot less. replaced it with a brand new z06 so no worries there but fingers burnt and lesson learned.

Well just when you thought it was Christmas and people should be nice to each other another Z06 appears, this time with a 'REBUILT' branded title. This is getting a little tiresome, even for me! Merry Christmas one and all!
