1964 C2 Road Rally Roadster Heads to Auction in The UK

How much is a well-used C2 roadster with an unremarkable road rally record worth? We’ll find out soon in the UK when this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray hits the auction block at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed event beginning June 26, 2015.

With a “proven record in classic rallying” and a “potential front runner” but no wins reported, what we have here is a fun Corvette you can thrash on the weekends with a fairly interesting European backstory.

The car is running a stroked 327 (340 cubic inch/5.6-liter), four-speed tranny, and cranks out 349 hp. It was rallied by Duncan Robb-Cummings in the Monte Carlo Challenge four years in succession: 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, and was also campaigned in the 1999 Rallye Des Lavandes and the 2000 and 2001 Rallye de Paris. The Corvette was featured in multiple publications at that time and comes with full documentation, photographs, MoTs, ferry passes, entries and correspondence concerning all the events it took part in.


The car has recently been resprayed red, and with gold rally wheels, the car sits right and looks ready to go. The black interior has a four-point harness system and a lot of Rally gauges, timers and things in the passenger (navigator) side of instrument panel.

There is a mismatched panel here and there, and an aura of hard use, but this car is ready for vintage racing anywhere in the world.

We’ll have to wait and see if any of this effects the price as it goes to auction at the end of the month. Maybe it will find its way back to the US with a new owner!
