Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a C5 corvette but need to try one out for size before taking the plunge (I'm 6 foot 5). I recently located a Glasgow owner who has a '98 C5 but his driver's seat motor was broken and so I couldn't try things out behind the wheel. I'm hoping that this post might come to the attention of a Scottish owner who would be happy for me to check out their C5. Thanks.

Martin, I was going to suggest trying the Corvette Club forum, but I see you've posted there already.
If you're on Facebook, then maybe try the "Classic Corvette Club UK Group".
Also, there's loads of info on the US Corvette Forum site in general - and these might be of some use winkhttps://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c5-general/24...

If/when you discover you fit just fine, then good luck with your search smile

I've got a C5 and a friend has one too that you can have a look at, both 2001 years and a manual and auto. I'm in Broughty Ferry and my friend is in Blairgowrie.

There will be a yellow C5 at Clydeside Cruisers event at Lochbar near Lochwinnoch on Sunday. It belongs to my mate Ian who is very comfortable fitting in it at 6 foot 4. I'll be there too, but probably not in my vette, unless it's a rainy day.

Hi folks, not only did I find some Scottish C5 owners, I also took the plunge and bought a gorgeous 1999 Auto C5 targa in red which has covered a mere 51k miles.

Unfortunately, I will soon lose my garage space due to a house move so if anyone is looking for a very well looked after example, please get in touch.

Car passed its MOT last Saturday, with no advisories. I have lots of pics on my Instagram page @mr_glasgow84

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you or someone you know is interested.
