The Appeal
The third generation of Chevrolet’s famous Corvette, the C3 is a styling masterclass. A long, sleek nose, greenhouse rear window and twin T-top roof panels made this car an instant celebrity - perhaps one of the main ambassadors for period American sports cars. It's the sort of car you can just imagine sailing around LA with the T-Top panels popped off and driver laden in shades...
This example has recently been imported to the Netherlands from its native USA, and boasts a bold yellow paint scheme.
