You may remember my suggestion to the CCCUK to acquire a corvette C5 for its members to use for track days etc etcdriving. I think youve found a perfect candidate, now if we can can lobby C5noragtop maybe he can provide funds. (This is a real race car, no replica)

Hell - if I was still working we could have come up with some City backed MBO reverse takeover pension buy back scheme (floated of course) and underwritten by Lloyds on behalf of the CCCUK.

Crikey - that is cheap! Only thing I'm not sure about is the engine spec - didn't say a lot but I wondered if it was a bit 'stock-ish'

I'm comparing the price to rally cars, ex WRC motors I think have a value in excess of double that!

I can't remember the engine spec, but my abiding memory when having a passenger ride around Brands Hatch indy circuit with Ricky Cole driving it was "I am going to die" he was only going about 7/10th as he had binned the car quite badly in the morning with Steve Havelock in the passenger seat hence the wing from the Blue car and also it was a cold and damp December day.


This was me trying to get into the hastily installed passenger seat whilst trying not to castrate myself on the rollcage.

No going back!

I have no idea how easy or if it would be possible to convert the car to a full C5-R rather than GT2 spec.
