Chevrolet Corvette Roadster

This 1961 Corvette is a late C1, the last year of the original car before the 327 V8 arrived for 1962. It has the 283ci small-block in 230 hp form with a manual gearbox, and the four-tail-light rear end that became a Corvette signature that year.

The car is finished in Fawn Beige Metallic with a matching Fawn interior and whitewall tyres, and comes with a removable hardtop. The VIN identifies it as a St. Louis-built roadster. The engine stamping appears to match the chassis sequence and carries the CQ suffix used on 230 hp manual cars, which points to a matching-numbers engine, though the dealer advises buyers to verify originality themselves.

It was registered in the UK in April 2022 and is recorded with the DVLA as a Historic Vehicle. A history file includes work by Pilgrim Motorsports after the car's arrival, covering paint and body rectification, polishing, servicing and component replacement. No mileage is stated.
