This 1958 model year Corvette was actually built in late 1957.
It was imported to the UK in 1991 but languished for many years before being acquired in 2005 as a box of bits by a previous owner.
He restored it over the next six years to its original colour scheme of Red with Ivory coves.
In 2020 the car was acquired by the present owner who carried out the extensive restomodifications.
