At this years Festival of Speed I finally placed my order for the new Z06.
A 2016 model year C7.R edition (UK) spec to be delivered next year.
After thinking about this for the last year and a half, the limited edition model nudged me over the edge.
Just got to wait now...........

Nice one - are you going to let me have your number plate now? (everyone thinks you're me anyway).

Hi Rich, bit of a dilemma that one. Something needs to go to accommodate the new car. It makes sense for it to be the C6 Z06 but the problem is, that's my favourite car!

Have found out "my car" is being built around now. After shipping the expected arrival at the dealer should be middle of January.
I have been told the UK allocation is one car out of the 650 scheduled for production. The states get 500 and the rest of the world the other 150. That are all unique vin and numbered so I wonder what mine will be.
Don't think I've ever been this excited about a new car before!

Good choice Martin. I assume you've ordered yellow...

You didn't plan far enough ahead when you built the garage for the last one!

Congrats! I was at the National Corvette Museum for the unveiling of the C7.R Edition. They actually changed from the reveal car to the production model (the roof yellow stripes either side of the black bit are wider than the reveal car which was VIN 001).

I have a 2015 C7 Z06 Z07 Coupe Auto which is fantastic. The best bit about the car is the sound, so much better than the 2010 ZR1 I sold after buying the 2015.

I bought one of the C7R covers at the auction at the NCM Bash earlier this year and it is spookily like the graphics I have done to my car which I did before they released the cover!

My car at Daytona a couple of weeks ago with the Sebring promotional 2014 Stingray.

2016 Z06 C7.R Reveal car note the wider black roof which is not the case with the production cars.

Still think Jeff Gorvette looks fabulous even if he's 10 years old in 2016!

Fantastic! Bet Virginia Water didn't know what hit it on Sunday morning? cool You're right, C6 Z06 still looks great! C7 just looks different, not better? Although C7.R something special.

Er Woody/Craig - Thought you were going to put something up on the CCCUK website about the headlights on UK spec C7s, following our conversation a week or so back? Or is what I posted, following our conversation, correct/meets your requirements?

Looking good Martin. Have Ian Allan sold any others, or is it the only UK car so far?

Hi James,
When I ordered the UK allocation was 1 car, so unless this has changed then this one is it.
Hope you are well and enjoying life.
