The Appeal

While the overdramatic coke-bottle styling of the old Sting Ray may be a thing of the past, the Corvette C5 kept up the performance unabated. A 5.7-Litre V8 producing 350hp? Yes please! Now getting it in a desirable 'triple black' - black paint, soft top and interior - and you've got quite the attractive, imposing modern classic.

This fine example is exactly that, having been imported to the Netherlands from the United States. It was last maintained only 1,500 miles ago, and we're informed is in fine working order. All of the duties and VAT have been paid - now it's just a case of of registering it in Europe and taking it out onto the road.
