The body has been repainted in 2017 and presents with a clean shine, while the interior features recently restored red leather seats and matching carpets.

The first-generation Corvette, produced from 1953 to 1962, is one of America’s most iconic sports cars. By 1960, the model had evolved into a more capable and more refined machine, combining lightweight construction with strong V8 power. Its dual-quad engine option offered a spirited driving experience, making the Corvette a competitive sports car on the road and racetrack. The C1 design remains widely recognised for its curves, chrome elements and distinctive dual-cove styling. Today, the model enjoys broad appreciation among collectors for its engaging driving character, classic American styling and historical importance as the car that established Corvette as a sports car brand. This 1960 example represents a desirable year within the series, noted for its blend of performance, style and growing international appeal.
