Is this a known car to anyone here?
Great price, methinks a raid on the piggy bank is in order.
Personally I like silver, ikt reminds me of the "Top Gear" test car (though this isn't actually that particular car I'm glad to say!)

This must be a bargin £45k now £32k he must be crazy!! Or... 06 model year American spec Z06 in a very boring silver with aftermarket chrome wheels and has been quite a busy car with those miles as most owners use them as a 2nd car.
As always buyer beware sounds like 29-30k to me make sure it has some history and HPI the car here and the USA also get somebody to look it over before you buy it. I am sure you can bring one over from the States for the same kinda money for this age. But hey the owner said it was £45k he must be selling two of them I only see one in the photo!

The chrome wheels could be genuine. I think that it is about the right money, assuming it is clear on carfax and hpi. There's a guy who owns a coffee company and who races classic cars that had a silver import, can't remember his name - could be this one? It's difficult to quantify the difference between value of us and uk spec cars theses days with so few left here. If I had £30k to spare for another car i'd be doing some research on this one.
Always liked silver on a Z. Nicely understated for a 200mph car!

Already contacted the seller, a German guy is coming over on Friday.
At that price its already on its way to Germany.
I would love to find a Z06 anywhere for this price, thats why its gone.
As you say they are thin on the ground, the only way to get one at a
"reasonable" price would be to import, as, if they are not available
they will continue to be expensive.

Strange as it's going to Germany I thought you would need a COC that's why only euro cars were being sold back to them. As the American spec cars don't Have a COC? But maybe i'm wrong.....At that price its already on its way to Germany.

That's what I have always been told too - without CofC they won't allow them into the country. Strange but true?!
By the way anyone seen the new CCCUK National 2010 DVD? It's fantastic and any Surrey/Thames Valley members have JUST GOT TO BUY A COPY!!! Play the DVD and you will see why.....

Yes the seller told me the same last night when he replied to my email - that a buyer from Germany was "hopefully" coming on Friday to collect the car.
I don't want to cancel work and everything just to get down there before the German guy! Though I imagine the seller will have taken a deposit or agreed not to sell it to anyone else anyway.
It would be tempting to be impulsive but it's too much to check it all out and get the money by Friday.
Other cars will come along...

Once a car is registered in the EU - in this case the UK - you will have no problem re-registering it anywhere else. An easy way to bypass the new stupid SVA rules is to import the car and register it in Germany via a slightly bent TUV station. Once you have a Deutscher Fahrzeugbrief for your Corvette, the DVLA can do nothing to stop you registering it here provided the car passes a simple MOT test.
Correct.However, I am aware of someone registering a US car in this way who was unfortunate enough to write the car off. The insurance company subsequently asked for proof of the CoC.
The owner was ringing Park Lane trying to get hold of one as he bought the car in the UK. Obviously I could not provide one as it was a US spec car.
Given the time frame Malc - and if you REALLY want the car - would you have enough time to do all the essential check-outs on cars history etc, be self determined, have funds in place, contact seller and say to him "why wait for a European buyer when you can complete a sale in Sterling before friday and not run the risk of dodgy transfer etc"

I presume the insurance company will do its best to wiggle out of a claim, particularly if we are talking about a reasonable sum of money - say £50k+ which would have been the value of a Vette a couple of years ago.
Btw, I have no idea where we stand on legal grounds here - can the insurance company refuse to pay, given that you cannot get a Certificate of Conformity from GM for a US Spec car at all? The whole point of the SVA scheme here or the TUV inspection in Germany is to substitute the Coc. Ignore the fact that the TUV station in Germany could be persuaded to close its eyes over US spec rear lights for example because you can go to a really stringent one too and pass the inspection there with the necessary modifications on the vehicle.
The more I think about the Insurance company not willing to pay over lack of CoC for a US car, the more I am convinced that they were trying it on.
Of course I stand to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me...
