Been looking for a C7 Stingray One kept catching my eye but I was frightened off as it was an Import it was a 2014
Velocity Yellow Z51 performance Package with Red 3LT Trim advertised as "Its got the Lot" in Huddersfield with just 336 miles on the Clock ...It has every Immortal Option Costing Thousands of Dollars... but its an Import ....I spoke to the Guy to express my concerns....Thinking I'd be ruling it out! and moving on to American Dreams........"Fear Not" its been fully converted ....The Lighting ...The indicators orange LED's inside the Headlamps LED repeaters discreetly hidden in the mesh on the front wings and Orange LED'S in Clear oblongs in the rear lens. Fog Lamp wired thru an illuminated switch in the Cab [The High Level Brake light becomes the Fog Lamp]
Not only that the Sat Nav is UK The Radio is UK and even the Aerial has been change to UK [The Guy who did the work obviously kept the originals ....he will send them back to GM for exchange / upgrade ready for his next conversion its a Top job ...No aftermarket 'Ring' fog lights like I fitted to my C6 Z06's between the exhaust bells you cannot see any thing different or out of place.
I mentioned a Euro car I was contemplating and the lack of Warranty on this one he gave me a Warranty Wise [Of 'Quentin Wilson' Fame ...there are about 6 plans he gave me the Best one ....Top Man]
I got a text from Peter at American Dreams to remind me to CarFax it as an Import whilst I was in his Office..... I HPi'd and CarFaxed the car myself whilst sitting at his Computer....and went on to put 12 months Insurance on her...
He really was a Nice Bloke, Everything was done including he Taxed her for 12 months £235 How Lucky am I?
Needless to say it is absolutely Mint... Fully Spec'd ..... Monies changed hands and I picked her up Saturday!
quick search on the DVLA Reg site for an Interesting plate and Found C7 KCN [reads C7 KEN with a Sacrificial Black stud in the middle of the C and that has become my username here and on CCCUK ] Ready to Roll!

Insurance wise I was with Aidrian Flux and rang from the Dealers to put Cover on the car to Drive home....after a long while trying to locate the car on their system the young Lady had to refer it to a Manager and came back to say the quotes are coming in over £900 ....OK then cancel it.... I went to GoCompare and accepted a quote of £452...That was cancelled on Monday as it had come up on their system as a Camaro they could not find the Import Corvette C7 Stingray.
I tried Lancaster who also couldn't find the car but after some while he came back to say he'd found it but it was coming in the thousands.....he'd put it out to a panel of Insurers
back on to Confused.com this time .... who's system offered a Box to select Import from US ...selected 'Go' and among many LV= Offered Fully Comp at £431 .....That's more like it Sold
it appears Aidrian Flux and Lancaster have not got the Import on their systems as yet for the Import at Competitive prices at least? Their Systems do recognise the Stratstone Euro cars ..... Success with LV= Thru Confused .com

Very nice indeed, congratulations!
Having had a yellow car in the past, just to ease my insane jealousy of what your hard earned has rewarded you with, please could you post a picture of that beauty parked in the sun and covered in live flies
Seriously though, very nice, enjoy it sir!

Thanks for the Comments Guy's ..... Years ago I had. A Similar Yellow Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special ... But your right SeeFive insects think it's a Giant Sunflower lol
As he rolled it out the Showroom I was Sold Back in the Day Ferraris (aswell as the Obligatory "Rosso")! Lambo's Lotus etc. used this Colour
I was joking I've not seen a real one on the road and here I own this one 'Happy as Larry' with the car!

Stunning, enjoy😎
I had a yellow C5 which always got a lot of attantion wherever we went, I have a friend who has a Silver merc SL500 , if we were out with both cars he always got really peeved that my yellow Corvette would get all the looks and people would ignore his car.
Beautiful cars, I will return to the fold.

Yup .....That's the right money ...I paid a little more as it only had 365 miles on her having been SORN by the Owner who couldn't get away with LHD or the Power [Once you get used to LHD you can thread thru traffic Briskly and the Handling of this variant is as "If on Rails".... is she an Auto or 7 Speed Manual [The early Autos where the 6 Speed and the latter ones the 8 Speed] I thinks that's personal preference and wouldn't effect the value ...mines 7 Speed Manual as it happens
Whichever you choose you'll be delighted with it.....Mines an Import which means the Tax is a little cheaper ...but the Ins was a little more expensive....try Confused.com for the Import as they offer the Option of US Import and Compare the Market don't offer the option of Import and neither did the Main Players Aidrian Flux ...they can find the Euro car but not yet the Imports.
I really recommend them ...it's a 466 BHP Supercar ... less than 4 seconds 0 - 60 Stunning Looks and you can run her without the expense of say a Ferrari ..Highly Strung ... that'll shake itself to bits and Services are Mega Expensive ...Once you own one of these you have a Fast, well handling car that offers Good MPG ... Right foot Dependant [I drive Briskly but not foot to the floor everywhere lol]
Best of Luck if you go for it and look forward to some Pics

Ha ....! As Nike says "Just do it"! I think I may have spotted your potential car in a Stunning Blue ... is that the one?
As I said you have an Outrageous looking Supercar ... a real Headturner with Folk admiring and getting pic's on their phones ... once you own it they really are very reasonable to run and a real pleasure to own and Drive!
