Mine is a 1967 C&C Corvette (Hull #29) with the original A4 - 5 digit serial number, oil fill at the rear & mechanical fuel pump.

No idea of the number of hours on her but the previous 2 owners sailed the old girl a lot, so I would expect she has quite a few.

Motor runs quietly and seems to have good power with little oil consumption and fumes (still have the original crank breather system) and starts easily.
Compression is fine on all cylinders, sometimes she will "tick-tick-tick" until warmed up but when you have owned and rebuilt a 1972 Norton 750 & 1975 Norton 850 Commando motorcyle the "ticking" noise seems a non-issue.

That clatter of mechanical valve lifters...is "music" to my ears!

Cheers!
