1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

What a stunning car, just collected in Auckland, fresh import from the USA. Our client knew the type of car he wanted, we helped him identify which cars he should consider and or avoid, and assisted with purchasing and shipping to New Zealand. Now our team will take it through the NZ compliance process and look to any restoration or modifications our client would like carried out before collection
