The Appeal
To this day, the C5 remains one of the most celebrated Corvettes ever made. With 50:50 front-rear weight distribution, a 5.7-litre V8 and stiffer chassis than its predecessors, it was fabulous to drive and just as good to look at. Performance rivalled that of the Aston Martin DB7 and Ferrari 355 - not bad for a 'blue collar' American sports car!
This 1998 example looks to be in lovely condition and benefits from recent maintenance completed less than 2,000 miles ago. It comes with USA title and European import document and all EU duties and VAT have been paid - so the car is ready for the new owner to register it in their country of choice.
