1984 Chevrolet Corvette C4 Targa Extremely Low-Mileage, One of the First C4s. For different reasons this is one special corvette. Back in the USA all documentation suggests that there were only two owners until the car was imported to the UK in 2021.The order form from June 1983 suggests that this is one of the first C4s off the production line which had an official model year of 1984. It was rumoured that the first cars had a very firm ride and suspension and soon after the American market demanded the suspension to be softened. This vehicle here is likely to be one of the forementioned vehicles, which today would appeal to the buying market.However, its best asset is the condition and it is not dissimilar to the condition of a two or three year old car today and certainly it is reflective of its very low mileage of 22,000 milesThe interior, bodywork and even the wheels cannot be faulted. We have had some nice Corvettes over the years, but we have not seen a condition like this. It is remarkable that this is possibility the oldest C4 in the UK marketplace.History proves that MK1s are the choice for collectors, and this would not disappoint the most discerning of these.Included with the car are many documents of its ownership in the state of Washington D.C and then later in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Interestingly in 2013 when it had done just shy of 17,000 miles the car, there are various bills for maintenance, one being to the tune $4500. We understand the car was stored for the subsequent 7 years before coming to the UK. Fairmont are offering this special car with a full MOT, fresh oil service, vehicle health check and a 3-month warranty..

About Us:
Our promise: “We ensure you’ll find your ideal classic car.”
Just moments from the M25, or a 23-minute train ride from London Liverpool Street and the City, our Fairmont Sports & Classics showroom team in Brentwood is committed to changing the way classic vehicles are bought and sold.
Classic models across the decades
Our stocklist – with new vehicles arriving daily – spans popular and iconic vehicles from the 60s through to the late 90s and beyond.
Over two floors we present a curated selection of more than 50 sports and classic cars – plus several motorcycles – all fully inspected, checked and ready to drive away, delivered, or shipped overseas.
We buy well so you’re not at risk
The buying team comprises seasoned motor industry professionals: our backgrounds span retail sales, fleet management, auction, wholesale, and service, inspection and maintenance. Having grown up with, driven and loved countless classics ourselves, we know what our customers look for: models and marques piquing current market interest; examples that are in excellent usable condition and order; and vehicles that represent a sound, good value investment.
An online portal search for any classic model will list several hundred vehicles across the UK. The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority, under scrutiny, will prove sub-standard, misrepresented or require uneconomic restoration or repair. Finding a good vehicle without motor trade experience is not for the faint-hearted.
We purchase our cars from private owners, collections and specialist auction houses. We are exceptionally selective about which vehicles we buy, when and why; we reject over 90% of all those we see. Those we purchase match varying customer demands: ‘best in market’ and fully original; fully or partially restored examples; and sound, practical, fun classics to be driven and enjoyed.
Whether you’re an investor, an enthusiast, or simply keen to recapture your youth, we’d love to help you find your ideal classic.
Warranty:
We want every customer to be confident in their purchase. Whilst we sell nationwide, many of our sales are local, with some customers revisiting to buy, sell or service more vehicles.
To ensure a worry-free motoring experience, we include our own pre-owned vehicle warranty and provide full servicing and support on-site.
The price of every car includes a six-month warranty for major component failure: engine, transmission, and final drive. For the first three months, it covers the cost of any essential parts and labour. Thereafter we provide a 50% discount on any essential parts and labour for the remaining three.
We also operate our own on-site workshop offering specialist classic vehicle servicing, maintenance and repairs. The same mechanics that inspected and prepared your vehicle for sale will be delighted to keep it in good working order throughout your ownership.
