1954 Chevrolet Corvette C1

1954 Chevrolet Corvette, one of only 200 in Sportsman Red.

Very early 1954 example with rock catcher air filters, stubby exhaust tips, and other rare early fittings.

My wife's dream car, and we have loved our three years of ownership, but we are downsizing now so all our cars must be sold.

Fully restored to original spec in the USA I believe around 20 years ago then moved to a collection in France.

Not concours, it has nicely mellowed, but is still in really excellent condition.

Multiple magazine featured.

150hp 235 cubic inch "Blue Flame" six pulls like a train.

Well sorted and on the button, starts, stops and drives really well, no dramas.

I would happily drive it anywhere.

12 volt conversion with stealth alternator which looks like an original dynamo.

Has some history including a copy of French "Carte Gris" so should be able to export into EEC without paying duties.

Comes with small history file, some spares, spare rebuilt steering box etc.

Located in East Yorks, DN14 7HQ.

Can be viewed anytime in our large, well lit garage with inspection lift.

I can send a walk-round video and more pics on request.

I might take a much cheaper part ex at trade price if it helps you, but I would much prefer a straight sale.

Priced sensibly, I think, at a good deal less than we paid for it, so please, no stupid offers pre-viewing, no time wasters, no auction companies or agents, only get in touch if you think it might be for you.
