About this car

This 1957 Corvette comes from the C1 era, when Chevrolet's fibreglass two-seater was moving from its early six-cylinder days towards the V8 cars that defined it. The page lists a 4,637cc engine and an automatic gearbox, and it is a left-hand-drive car.

It is finished in Roman Red with white coves and a white leather interior. Factory options include the Wonder Bar radio and the factory hardtop. The car was imported from the USA by its current owner, a Corvette enthusiast, and is described as having been used sparingly.

It comes with a file of invoices, a current V5 and other related paperwork. Chassis number is E57S101683. Mileage is not stated.
