Lucky beggar, if I had sold mine in time I would have had that one. frown
As much as it pains me to say this, enjoy it, which won't be hard.

Yeah thats what I was gonna do, as Mitch said the Euro cars were never
delivered with them.
They are the correct Ron Fellows ones not just red ones ?

I intended to do that until I googled fitting videos/instructions. When I see how many holes needed drilling, I changed my mind.

The Euro cars were delivered with them. I applied two sets! One to our demonstrator that we sold to an independant dealer in Germany and another to a car that was delivered by Reading.
We gave customers the choice of have them fitted. They came supplied in a cardboard box along with the windscreen sun strip and a certificate entitling you to a corvette performance academy day. Euro RF cars differ from US cars only in wheel finish - ours were all polished whereas I think that all US were chrome.

Apparently there were 6 rf's for the uk, if one went to Germany anyone know how many there are in the uk? (if it's not just the simple maths!)

I think that we only ended up with 5. One of my directors gave up a Ron Fellows to get extra Escalade allocation! The one owned by car95 is supposedly in London (1 of 3 that we supplied at Park Lane), one as mentioned went to Germany and I can't remember where the third one went. Birmingham sold one locally, as did Reading, but I've never seen either.
I exhibited one without stickers as the central car on Cabot square at the 2007 motor expo.
Seem to recall a total of 25 for the whole of Europe (including the uk).
Somewhere buried in my server I have the special edition numbers that we supplied.

Mine was #027 and I sold it with the windscreen banner and side stripes in their original packaging, as indeed supplied by Park Lane with the car.

I have to admit that I have considered C6 competition package(z51 with extras) to be my next car. However now I am leaning more towards Audi R8 or Cayman R (or maybe new S). I have rethink this again when I have the actual money to do the final call. Quality(speed and accuracy) of manual transmission is my largest doubting factor in corvette. Other is that tracks in Finland are quite small and corvette would be slower than MR layout car with smaller engine.

Sorry for using this thread but did not want to start new just for random talk.

Do you want to go fast, or do you want to have fun? If you're racing, then absolutely the fastest car is best. If you're doing track days, then the balance shifts...and a C6 is plenty of fun! If you really want to go fast, keep your hands on the wheel by going auto smile
