- Ermine White with Inca Silver door coves
A 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, chassis 00867S107276, finished in Ermine White with Inca Silver coves and red leather interior. Ordered in early 2018 through Classic Steering Parts of Leerdam, Netherlands, following a Paris show appearance, the car underwent a meticulous restoration incorporating discreet modern upgrades including power steering, air conditioning, a four-speed manual gearbox, halogen headlights, and a modernised radio. Showing under 1,100 km at the time of cataloguing, it represents a particularly refined example of the final year of the first-generation Corvette body design.
