Bauer Millett's seem to have sold the brand new yellow ZR-1, some lucky owner must be getting their hands on that soon it would be great to finally see one on the roads in the UK, unless it has been sold back ino Europe. Maybe it will show up at Le Mans this year? Saying that has anyone in the CCCUK got one I have not seen a UK car at any of the club meets ever.

It looks beautiful, And the owner will also be getting the 3 year GM warranty with that car too! Unlike any ZR-1 imported from the States.

Rob, I asked the same question and there were no ZR1's in the club database about this time last year...

This 2009 came in through Atlantic Sports though, and had a UK owner. Don't no whether that is still the case now...This pic is from their 2009 Tour of Thunder.

I know of the odd import ZR-1, But not sure if anyone has bought an offical UK supplied one yet? The yellow looks great too. Maybe it will turn up at Le mans or the nationals later in the year.

Be funny if it turned up at one of the club meets! Can you imagine 6.2 supercharged I thought the C6 was quick then the Z06 but that is some crazy performance!! driving

Bloody Audi owners telling me how to spell!! You should spend your time looking for another Corvette. Or something that is at least cheaper tax than your Audi anyway! Imagine finding a car quicker than the Audi but less Tax. scratchchin

You've gone and changed it you bu66er....

The old Audi is a brilliant machine but I do miss the balls out performance of my Z06 I guess. Heaven knows what the ZR1 is like to drive. One can only dream.....

And Simon, I really really will try and be at the Thames Valley meet this coming Wednesday.

Undoubtedly a repost from a while back (If it is, then sorry!), but did you ever the see the idiot from Top Gear Australia saying he thinks the ZR-1 has too much power?

I hadn't seen that so thank you for posting it. I did keep looking at it and wondered why it looked odd - then it dawned on me it was RHD! $300k AUD though - ouch.....
