On the lookout for ManualC6 Vette, pref Z06 or Gransport/Z51

I've taken the difficult step of putting my TVR Griff up for sale which means I'm now starting to look for a Corvette.

I haven't been to look at any yet, but I think I made some sort of pact with myself at Le Mans in 2007 or so that I would like a Corvette, remember watching the racers and a convoy of new road cars.

I'm most keen on the Z06 with the LS7 engine for the pace and 7 Litre bragging rights it offers.

However, I see that the standard Vette or Gransport has a targa top, hard not to be attracted by that too.

I want a manual one perhaps Grandsport or at least with the Z51 pack etc.

If anyone has any buying tips or ideas where/how to source one that would be great.

There is a Velocity yellow Z06 for sale that is a Japanese import, look v nice but has been for sale for about year it seems.

The pound is weak against the dollar atm, would like a car that already in the UK ideally, but maybe I should consider importing?

BTW, must be a manual and not an auto.

Thanks, that’s quite a story! And what a lot of car for the money! High mileage isn’t always so bad.

There do seem to be a lot of auto C6’s.
