RHD C8 Vette

[roscobbc]

One can count the numbers of UK based GM staff perhaps on the fingers of one hand one finger - we were fortunate to have Kevin Boyce bring GM's UK based RHD C8 Vette along to Essex CCCUK regional meeting at the Red Lion Billericay last night.

Really not in love with the C8 ,sorry i should be but i'm not, much prefer the Z06 C7 or the Grand Sport and the C6 Z06 ,usually a new model

takes time to grow on me and eventually makes the previous model look dated but in this case i don't think it's going to happen,

Just as well as i couldn't see myself parting with the wrong side of a £110K for a Corvette anyway.

How was Kevin?
We used to have interesting conversations when I ran the London dealership.

Kevin is fine - he was at the Kent regional CCCUK meeting Wednesday night. Always got on well with Kevin, both when editor for CCCUK's Vette News and latterly when serving as chairman. He's bought some unusual GM vehicles down to our Essex meetings over the years.

Please can someone explain to me what the latest situation on availability / launch of C8 in the UK is?
Has it been confirmed, or is it still speculation only? Can I put my name on a waiting list, spec the car etc?
thank you

Contact Ian Allan motors, they're the only UK dealer. I believe they've had quite a lot of deposits on C8's

Spotted a C8 on the road in Reading a few days ago. Light blue colour. Going the opposite direction on a dual carriageway so didn't get a good look at it.

Spotted rhd red C8 in Norwich today. I haven’t much liked the styling of the C8 in photos and videos as it can look quite boxy and disjointed. Now completely changed my mind. The car looked low, muscular and far more exotic than its pricing would suggest.
