Just wondering if anyone knows a guy that used to live fairly close to me, his name is Gary, and had a yellow vette, the classic shape from the early 80's. Im fairly certain he got the car imported in boxes, and put it together.
Something like this:

Is that Farnborough in Hants? And did the car look like this:


I've not seen one in the Farnborough area. How long ago was it?

Yup, thats the one.
It was about 4 years ago maybe, around 2001.

Nope, definitely didn't see it, or get any reports of it (I would have remembered it as a mate in the US has a yellow '81). You know what it's like, you buy a Vette & all your mates start telling you about other Vettes they've seen locally. There was a white ('77?) in the area that many of my mates mistook for me & later complained that I never waved back. If the owner of a white ('77?) from the Camberley/Farnborough area is reading this then I'd like to apologise for the abusive/vulgar/threatening hand signals that my mates & me greet each other with That white C3 hasn't been seen for a couple of years - maybe he'd had enough of all the abuse & sold it?
