Any C6 Corvette owners?

[forrestgrump]

As title, howmanyleft suggests there’s 6 registered in the country, if anyone is an owner and looking to sell at any point this year can you get in touch please. Just before I go through the relative faff of importing my own in the summer. Cheers.

Ah balls, can someone edit the title to C6 Grand Sport owners?

Have you seen this one - nothing to do with me, though.

Have a look at this thread on the Classic Corvette Club forum - it'd be worth your while joining the club for info.

Best of luck with your search.

I have, that’s why I ask really I didn’t think there was any in the UK at all. I’d interested if anyone knows this car further, but the white paint and red interior are both big no no’s if I’m to justify such a vehicle with the Mrs, and not cheap or easy to ‘fix’. Shame because it’s not unreasonably priced.

Will sign up to the forums as well.

Useful thread, shows I may be best off importing if I want a black or grey coupe!

I’m in the US in October so might venture round then, although not a great time to have it back in the UK but that’s life.

These ones are for sale in Germany - although since Brexit, there's VAT to add.

Also, these around Europe - https://www.theparking-cars.co.uk/#!/used-cars/Cor...

Yeah seen a few over in Germany, but like you say with VAT it turns out quite expensive. I have around £40k to spend all in which puts a lot of those out of reach. Unless there’s some cheeky way round VAT that I’m unaware of but will be happy to receive such information

There are lots more of us with C6's in the UK, I think they are third most popular model after C3 and C5. The how many are left site isn't especially useful for Corvette's, with DVLA listing the cars on the V5 in a number of ways, including just 'Corvette' rather than the C6 suffix. Despite me being very specific when applying for the paperwork on import, mine is listed as something like 'GMC Corvette'.
I don't have the relevant club magazine with me, but last year it had an interesting breakdown of members cars and I think there were more than 100 C6 and that's just club members, so the actual total will be higher.

Dave, I think 'Forestgump' was specifically asking about C6 Grand Sports on the 'how many left' site.
That thread from the forum I linked to seems to indicate they are very rare - although I'm not familiar with C6 GS numbers.
The C6 is indeed, quite rightly very popular.
