I couldn't resist this C4 coupe that went up for auction at the end of October. It's a 1992 coupe in white with red interior and just 15,300 miles on the clock. It has the LT1 and a 6-speed manual gearbox. A Magnaflow full stainless steel exhaust has been fitted and it sounds fantastic. It has been in the UK since June/July last year and I am thrilled with it. I took a risk as the auction was in Newcastle but to use a commonly used expression, it's a lot of really nice car for the money and I have always had a soft spot for the C4. Also risky was not having sat in one before, let alone driven one, and it all seems to work perfectly. I'm glad I haven't got big feet though.
Life's very busy at the moment so I have only had the opportunity for a quick look, get the documentation all sorted and park it temporarily under a very nice cover behind my house. It's going into storage for the winter next week but I hope to get some time over the weekend to take it for a decent drive. The weather looks good so I am really looking forward to it.
Both the exterior and interior are in remarkably good condition - backing up the mileage claim - from many perspectives it looks like a brand new car. Unlike my C3 it requires nothing doing to get in and drive it but there are a few things that I would like to do over the winter to get it ready for next spring: Full service, new amber indicator lights and new targa/door seals. I also need to rebuild/replace the Bose Gold amplifiers which all seem to be kaput, but that's about it. There was a Blondie tape in the cassette unit when I got it which is just perfect.
Rest assured work on the C3 continues and will probably accelerate so that next summer I should be able to have both cars on the road.
Not the most brilliant photographs - more/better to come when I have more time.
