Proud Newbie - 1972 C3

[marchartog]

Hi all,

Thanks for your help with an earlier thread when I started looking for a C3, and for the introduction to Gavin Roe of EMC Performance. I am now the proud owner/caretaker of one of his - a 1972 Stingray, with the first 100+ mile jaunt home under my belt and lots of nice reactions and comments. Very different to the classics and sporty cars I have had the pleasure of previously.

Looking forward to getting involved in some events, are there any members or meet ups in the Hertfordshire/ London areas?

There is a Herts/North London rep......and a monthly meeting I believe......depending on where you are in Herts or N. London the Essex section meets at Chelmsford.......not too far away if you're adjacent to the M11......and we have quite a few C3's in the region.

Congrats and nice Corvette that. I looked it over when I popped into see Gavin a couple of weeks back. Get rid of the plates and change for black & silver or States plates for a much better look.

Thanks, I am in Radlett, just south of St Albans so a good hour+ away from there, but will definitely check it out.

Tippers classic no plates did mine in st austell cornwall , google them , proper old school equip and service. He made mine and recently trimmed my front one down to the size of the number plate mounting plate/ bracket as it was covering too much of the central grill. He re radiused the corners at the same time , all for no extra charge so I donated a fiver to the biscuit barrel , give him a go
