That sort of mileage commands a big premium. It'll be a waiting game trying to find the buyer though. Claremont Corvette have had a low miles RHD C5 up for ages now:

Again, someone will be delighted with it at that price.

That C5 Z06 is very nice, but it's the C6 models have a bit more go and are well priced now.

Or you could just go for a Mustang. New car finance deals are sooo cheap that they really overshadow buying used.

Standard C6? If so I reckon a late C5 Z06 is both faster, rarer and more desirable. The C6 Z is obviously a fair bit quicker, but surely around £50k for sub 10k miles https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.roadandtrack.com/...

One of Merlin McCormack's cars. He seems to find all sorts of interesting vehicles. If you're interested, give him a call. I'm sure there's some wriggle room in there.

He runs a 'Coffee & Cake' meet on the third Sunday morning of the month except winters.

Never seen a RHD one before

There's a nice C6 Z06 for just £47K on Autotrader wink

Must say, I keep looking at that C5 Z06. For the cash, though, I'd be buying a nice C5 and an LS7 crate motor...

Pointless IMHO. I have a special dislike for ultra-low-mileage cars. confused

Buy this and -if you drive it - blow it's USP. So it's an ornament. frown

Or you could view it as a second chance to buy one 'new'. Compare it with other new sports cars for the same money and it suddenly seems good value. I'd be buying it to drive it on Sundays.

True, but if looked after it will probably remain the best one out there. There would be a strong temptation to put some brakes on it and do the odd track day though.

Better long term residual that the latest super hatches or a new mustang, but probably less useable and no faster now.

I like this thought. smile

When my old BMW expires (which was a low mileage and well kept example until I got hold of it), I hope that there's another that someone has squirreled away so I can continue driving one.

Don't worry, she'll still be like Jeremy Corbyn's wallet after a white corvette driver has done his worst.
