Just looking to canvas opinions really. I’m considering a swap with my TVR Chimaera for a 98 C5 Corvette auto with 100k miles, I really like the look of the car, I’m used to owning cars that are a little awkward to live with but this is my first LHD car.

What do I need to be aware of? I’ve read a few buyers guides and the main thing I can see is regarding faults with a steering lock, but is there anything else I can need to look at beyond the standard classic/sports car stuff? The car is on aftermarket wheels so the run flats aren’t on anymore. I think it’s an import as there’s no fog light in the bumper - if it is I guess it’s the same sort of questions as when I bought my JDM cars?

I’m a bit of an armchair American car fan, Motortrend subscriber after finding roadkill about 6 or 7 years ago so this is a great opportunity for me to tick a car off my bucket list.
