The car is described as a 'clean, honest and largely original example' with 'minimal cosmetic imperfections.' The recommissioning covered major mechanical areas like the cooling system, brakes, and suspension. While there is 'light age-related pitting to some of the chrome' and 'some paint chipping and scuffing to the leading edge of the lower front valance,' these are minor issues that align with an 'Excellent' rating, as it 'may require minor reconditioning'.

Description
Highlights The coveted early chrome-bumper C3 Stingray, in blue over matching blue Rumbling 5.7-litre small-block V8 with the soundtrack to match Removable T-top roof panels for proper open-air motoring Genuinely low mileage at 45,430, backed by a long run of MOT certificates Recently recommissioned by a Corvette specialist and ready to enjoy Overview Some shapes just refuse to age, and the third-generation Corvette is one of them.
Chevrolet took Larry Shinoda's Mako Shark II concept, gave it those bulging arches and a long, low bonnet, and created the most enduring silhouette the marque has ever produced.
The C3 went on to become the best-selling classic Corvette of the lot, and to our eyes the early chrome-bumper cars, with their slim brightwork and Stingray script, are the ones every enthusiast really wants.
This one is finished in blue over a matching blue interior, a combination that suits the shape beautifully, and it presents as a clean, honest and largely original example.
