Hello all - I'm in the market for a Z06, blue/black/grey, 20k miles or less, UK/Euro car, as few owners as possible, one that's seen massive love,care and affection, but might be about to seek out a new home.

Just in case anyone fits the description above (very unlikely I appreciate) I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.

Hey! Back of the queue!! I asked that last month..... mad

There aren't many about. I was contacted by one PH'er who has what you need. I want it, but need to sell my Camaro first. He may be in touch with you...

Thanks a lot for the heads up, hope I hear from the owner. Fortunately I have nothing to sell / px, so it could work if it's what I'm looking for. Would hate to tread on your toes though, feel bad! Will leave it up to the owner if he cares to get in touch!

Thought I'd wet your appetite but no, it's not for sale. Ade, you shouldn't have parted with your other one!

Actually, it's not a UK/Euro, so probably not suitable.

Gixer: I know. Glad it went to Swerni, even if he never uses it. Should have the Camaro up for sale next week though. There's a crack in the screen which I'm having replaced next week.

Wellll if we are whetting appetites, heres mine.
Blue is a nice colour as well, but not for sale. A Euro from Bauer Millets, 3 owners but 30k miles so too many....

I really don't know, TBH. Given it's spec, there isn't anything comparable out there. The closest in the classified would seem to be the supercharged ZL1 at £65k, but I'd certainly be looking sub-£30k.

Engine spec as per link...

Good morning AkinaSpeedStar and AdeTuono. It's about time I get round to selling mine, some 16 months after I bought its replacement!

It is a Le Mans Blue UK car that I have owned since new. Always looked after, it fits your whole description except the mileage (about double). IMO that's barely something worth factoring in, as the engine is, as they say, bulletproof and will go for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Mine is the car that was in the studio when Fifth Gear presented it with the Performance Car of the Year award. DVD can be provided with car!

BTW I would like to say "PM me if interested", but the last time I needed to find my messages, I couldn't, so it may be better to e-mail me at mjjcharlton at gmail dot com...

Have you already shelled out for it? If it's only got 9000 on the clock, Akinaspeedstar will surely be keen!

Sorry, been ages getting back to this thread, but thankfully I did find what I was after. A lovely gentleman on CCCUK got in touch with me and a few days later I was the proud owner of a 2010 (09MY) Euro Z06 in black. It's wonderful, absolutely over the moon with it. Was hoping to meet a bunch of you at the Nationals last weekend but am getting married next weekend (July 4th, naturally the Z will be present 😀) and just a bit too much on. Will aim to make some future gatherings though for sure.

So far it's been to Topaz for a detail (those guys are just awesome), protection film back to the windscreen, some Girodisc rotors & pads kindly imported by Ken of 9Excellence, Michelin PSS non-RF, and a Capristo exhaust which can cruise without drone or wake the dead, depending on your mood. Oh and a decent alignment by the guys at Center Gravity. This is my second Z06 and both were miles out, difference is night & day after a good set-up, both cars actually having been running rear toe-out (!!!!) before the set-up - no wonder some feel the rear is a bit loose! No doubt tyres helped a lot here too.

You have bought the most pampered Z06 in the UK. Well done. I was speaking to JW at the CCCUK Nationals last weekend and he said it had gone.

I looked a buying it two years ago but I can't live with a black car.

If you want any info on joining the CCCUK, send me a PM or email chairman@corvetteclub.org uk
