Hunted down another pic of the same car from another year, with a different number on the door 11 vs 10.

Yes, I'm well aware of that!!....Hopefully we can catch up there one day. Be careful of that car, if it isn't already, it soon will be, a "Collector's Item"!Quote:

*ps.. my Missus has a 2014 1 Series M Coupe which is rather nice
so I have nothing against the brand, just is designers :moon:
Hey Smitty, I agree that they are not the prettiest cars but as you said, that seems to be the trend of design these days.Quote:

Over in the USA these days there are business actually converting many newer Corvettes into the older classic Corvette body shapes
& in the UK they are doing things like remaking early Astons & Jaguar E Types etc. :goodjob:
There are even a few later Corvettes over here that have had their chassis modified & C3 bodies fitted,
I was in a workshop last Tuesday & they had 2 in there that they were doing,
one of them was with like a 1972 convertible body with subtly widened pumped out guards.
It looks absolutely fantastic apart from the fact that they had to make it right hand drive for Australian registration regulations.
I personally think a Corvette looks better in left hand drive.
