1969 L89 Corvette
Originally one of a group of 6 L89 spec cars purchased by the Corvette collector John Greenhoe in the USA. Purchased with just 13000miles from new this aluminium headed/tri-powered 427 is an unrestored vehicle. Whilst with me the body was lifted from the chassis and the mechanical components and chassis refreshed. The balance of the car was carefully conserved to maintain the cars authenticity. It now has covered some 16000 miles from new and remains one of the most genuine and authentic original cars in Europe. |
