For sale is this stunning and sought-after 1959 Chevrolet Corvette which is in very good condition and excellent mechanical order. You will really enjoy both the ride and attention that you receive whilst driving this gorgeous Corvette. It is both MOT and Tax exempt.<br />
<br />
History: Selected by a Specialist by their North American team and brought to the U.K. by themselves, the car is U.K. registered with UK licence plates (831 XVC). Although it is now exempt from both MOT and road tax, this corvette is supplied with a U.K. MOT.<br />
<br />
This Corvette had an Appraisal from Jim Winter Collectable Car Appraisals before being purchased. <br />
The information about the car was confirmed by an appraisal from Jim Winter Collectable Car Appraisals in December 2016. As a result, this Corvette reports that it is a 1959 Model 800 Corvette. Number 372, it was built at the St Louis, Missouri assembly plant.<br />
<br />
Engine: The much-desired 350 cu inch V8 engine with dual exhausts ensures that this Corvette emits the unmistakable sound of a true American muscle car.<br />
The engine, which runs extremely well, is a 350ci which was built at St Catherines, Ontario in September 2011. The number is K0911C8K. This is a replacement performance crate engine, fitted with an Edelbrock carb and Edelbrock aluminium intake manifold. The height is greater than the original engine and carburettor, so the car has a Thunderbolt hood scoop fitted, an uprated HEI distributor and a new alternator.<br />
It has a 4-speed manual gearbox, which is in perfect working condition and is a fantastic car to drive. Its performance, braking and handling is at a standard that would put many of today s cars to shame outstanding for a car of it era, and draws constant admirers, as I have come to expect with any Corvette that i have owned.<br />
The current mileage is 27,903.<br />
Exterior: Repainted in its original red and white this is a fine-looking car in excellent condition. Its black soft-top stows neatly away behind the seats. The body panels are fibreglass from new and the steel chassis is rust-free.<br />
Interior: In very good condition, the grill, bumpers and chassis are all originals. The rev counter is in perfect working order and the speedometer which is almost unobtainable has been worked on by a UK specialist.<br />
Rowland says: The conclusion of the appraisal from James Winter, the Curator of the British Columbia Transportation Museum is that this early Corvette is in overall good condition and the upgrades enhance the car s appeal.<br />
