How Many ZR1 Corvettes are in the UK?

[Vet Guru]

Any idea how many ZR1 Vettes are over her in the UK?
I know they only made them for a few years but I keep seeing cars up for sale that I have never seen before maybe more are being brought over from the States!

Definitely an ask Gixer question!

[franv8]

Gixer -read and answer you ZR1Net registry person!

[godzilla]

Nah. This topic is of no interest to him.

I have one, Gixer has one, Cliff (I think) still has one, there was one in Liverpool to a gentlemen named Keith, sold on now, but still, Claremont have 2 in I think... that's 6. So I'd expect possibly no more than 20... Brett should be able to advise however... I'd be interested. For an engine co-developed by Lotus, you'd expect more in the UK than there are...

There's mine
Cliffs
Joes
Steve Ball
Richard Ross
David in Wales
Louise (ported purple ZR1 - just heard its for sale on PH)
Marks
Rick Buftons - this was Jason's Jeal 368 and is up for sale again
Theres been a blue one advertised in Crawley, dont know the car
Paul Gamsa's is for sale at B.Millet
Tom's polo green is for sale
2 for sale at Claremont
Theres a new name in the UK registry list, so a posible car there (it doesnt say)
There's a white one kicking around somewhere that I spotted at Darts years back.
James(?) has a red one in Essex I think.
Theres another I know of thats just raced, the owner was at Claremonts a few Boxing dats ago.
Grey one thats was for sale a few years ago
Jeals purple car, although thats probably gone to the states with him
Sure i've missed a couple

Then there are all the garage queens and the cars that belong to people that don't get involved.

So whats that, 19 not counting Jeals. I guess around 30. I think thats also what Jeal used to say. I think Tom at Claremonts once guessed 30-50. Notice that nearly all of them listed are black or red.

As my old maths teacher used to say Nige READ THE QUESTION,

Unless of course as a parting shot Mr Blair has managed to get Paris included in the UK....

It WAS in the UK 'cos I drove it to Paris

[c5ragtop]

Superb answer Nige, but only if the question was "How many ZR1 Corvettes WERE in the UK" with a rider "include only yellow ones driven to Paris".

I only posted this to make Brett happy - the banter is back.......
