'The bravery here mostly comes from the need to negotiate ticket barriers and drive-throughs from the wrong seat'.
Believe it or not, one of the first cars I drove was a C4 generation Chevrolet Corvette superficially very similar to this one. I was 12 years old and I got into a few scrapes in it: police chases, head-on collisions and even a few spectacular departures into the void next to the twisting mountain road I blasted it down.
These stereotypes weren’t very fair, and especially given the technical sophistication the C4 generation enjoyed over its predecessors when it was introduced in 1983. It arrived at the tail end of the US's Malaise Era of emissions control, and the launch-spec L98 V8 could still only make what seems a lowly 250hp from its 5.7-litres of swept capacity. But that was 50hp more than the 3.0-litre Porsche 911 SC was producing at the time.
Our Pill also looks great in the pictures, with the specialist dealer selling it reporting it had a full respray into its original black metallic two years ago. Against Brave Pill’s SOP it isn’t actually the cheapest C4 currently in the classifieds, there is an ex-Japanese 1994 auto being offered by a private seller for an even more reasonable £10,000. But although two grand pricier this one looks like strong value considering the more desirable manual gearbox and gleaming condition.
