C7's a rare beast?

TBH I was discussing Vettes the other day and had completely forgotten the C7 even existed. And not only that, but that the C8 seems not that far away.

The reason for this is, I don't think I have ever seen a C7 Corvette in the UK.....

Have they been less popular over here than the C5's and 6's? I still see both of these models from time to time and there are a couple of each in the local area.

To be honest Corvettes have always been a small seller as a proportion of all sports cars sold in UK - and sports car sales in UK have collapsed. On that link the numbers for McLaren and Lotus are absolutely tiny in what's supposed to be their home market. Sports cars have become a subject that gets lots of internet chatter yet very few people actually go out and buy one. Most people with "money to spend" seem to want a big lump of SUV on the drive.

Having said that, C7 is an utterly brilliant car!

It’s more the fact the C7 is what, 5 years old now. I go to a few car shows and motorsport events throughout the year and cover best part of 26,000 miles on the roads. But I’ve not seen a single one.
