2018 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 CONVERTIBLE

KEY FACTS

• A superb example of the potent American sports car, presented in excellent condition and with low mileage from new.
• Under the carbon-fibre bonnet lies the mighty 6.2-litre supercharged V8, which sends 650bhp and 650lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift.
• The odometer displays just 2,905 miles.
• A US-market example, this Z06 was purchased by its original owner to keep at their Canadian property. It was transported from Middleton, Wisconsin to Quebec, where it was registered in August 2018.
• The car was used as a weekend driver until 2019, when it was placed in dry storage, before being shipped to the UK, where it was imported and re-registered in May 2021.
• The seller is the car’s second owner to date, having purchased the car from its first keeper earlier this year.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Z06 is finished in the sleek contemporary hue of Ceramic Matrix Grey Metallic over a black leather-trimmed interior with white accent stitching.
• Optional equipment includes the Carbon Aero Package, a factory-fit performance exhaust system, heated and ventilated GT seats, cruise control, a premium Bose audio system, dual-zone climate control, the Carbon Flash Badge Package and a head-up display.
• It rides on the correct staggered set of 19 and 20-inch alloys, which are in good order, though there are a few minor rub marks on a couple of the wheels caused by securing straps rubbing in transit to the UK, as shown in the photos.
• The car will be accompanied by its original book pack, documentation of its service history, its original unused locking wheel nuts and a selection of track-focused parts, including the option brake cooling deflectors.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Ceramic Matrix Grey Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition, with no visible marks, stone chips or other blemishes, in line with the car’s limited mileage.
• The black convertible hood is also in great shape, and is free of any rips, scuffs or fading.
• Inside, the cabin presents in superb order, and there are no noticeable signs of wear on the seats, the steering wheel or the door cards.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• Its first UK MOT test was on 7 April 2021 at 1,610 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass, with an advisory for a slight misting of oil on the rear shock absorbers, which the seller confirms was simply caused by condensation.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Z06’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in October 2019 at 1,548 miles by a Chevrolet main dealer in Verdun, Quebec.
• Prior to this, a service was carried out in April 2019 at 1,004 miles, and a pre-delivery inspection was performed at 12 miles.
