Descrizione
Imported 1989 model, sport seats, BBS RS wheels and plenty of upgrades and packages.
This high specification GM Corvette C4 was imported into the UK in 1990. It’s had five owners from new with 65, 371 miles on the clock, and for the last 17 years, it’s done less than 5, 000 miles. It’s one of 4, 113 models built with the pre-facelift full digital dash interior and the heavy-duty ZF S6-40 six-speed manual transmission.
This C4 also comes with a private plate ‘G8 TFX’, as well as many options and packages it left the factory with. Features include sports seats, climate control, FX3 Selective Ride and Handling Control, the Z51 Performance Handling Package (which includes heavy-duty suspension, fast-ratio steering, an oil cooler, heavy-duty radiator and auxiliary cooling fan), and the J55 High-performance brake package.
This car has been treated to a few more upgrades in the past, which includes long-tube exhaust manifolds, a Walker high-flow catalytic converter, OEM-looking Walker high-flow exhaust boxes, braided brake lines, upgraded rear suspension (rose joints and solid links), a rose-jointed front anti-roll bar, a higher-capacity 110-amp alternator from a ZR-1, and a simplified emissions control system for reliability.
As standard, this stunning example also got a limited-slip differential, era-correct forged three-piece BBS RS 178 wheels that are worth approximately £2, 500. Performance comes from a 5. 7-litre V8 petrol engine which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. It pulls away very well and is fantastic to drive, especially with the roof down.
Plenty of paperwork, invoices and documents are included with the car, some of which date back to the early nineties. Comprehensively inspected and serviced by specialists Lincolnshire Corvette in May 2021, with work including new plugs, distributor cap, rotor, Castrol oil, a new oil filter, coolant, brake fluid, clutch fluid, upper front ball joints and covers, lower ball joint covers, new rear-end fluid with the correct LSD friction modifier, and fresh transmission oil. The underside was judged to be in ‘excellent’ condition.
