C6 in Britain
 
A few months ago I offered up my beloved one owner MN6 bone stock California C6 for sale on this Forum. She was purchased by a fine young British couple. After a long and circuitous transport, she now has a loving home in Bath, England.

Hi all,

I've written our buying experience and road trip on Pistonheads and today they have featured it on their home page. :) Thought you guys might be interested: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-...the-week/38528

Regards, Dave

Fishy Dave 08-10-2018 11:47 AM

p.s. please don't flame me for the model inaccuracies on page 2, the UK is not generally up to speed on Vette's so I thought it would serve as an introduction. :)

lol speak for yourself Fishy Dave :-) I'm pretty switched on with the C5 and C6 in the UK

Thanks for sharing that experience. As noted above, that was one of the best things I have ever read here.
Congratulations on your Corvette and please keep us updated.

I wonder what is thecost to ship a vette overseas ?

buckmeister2 08-10-2018 11:16 PM

I'll bet that car gets looks and comments every day it goes out. What a great deal for that guy, and what a great story.

GRCTampa 08-11-2018 03:19 PM

Fantastic road trip and a well told story. Kudos to you and your wife, you clearly know how to live life fully. Thanks for sharing your Corvette experience. May you enjoy many more miles and smiles!

The is a break down of the costs, etc at the end of his story.

I've updated the Pistonheads thread some more. I had fun chasing a friend in his Porsche 993 Turbo S last week at our local circuit, Castle Combe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaZ5...ature=youtu.be

I continue to be impressed with the car and drive it most days on the road. The base suspension is too soft for the track, but it is so comfortable on Englands narrow, holed roads. :)
