Default ZR1 in South Africa

It has always been a dream to own a Corvette, and I have now eventually managed to get one, I was actually looking for a late model C3 but then the ZR1 appeard in a local classifieds site.
I started to do some research and quickly realized it was time to forget about the C3
I then made a deal with the owner to hang on to the car for me to come and look, (nearly 500 miles away)
Well to cut a long story short, I went to look, bought it, and drove it home!!!!!!

It is a Black on black 1990 number 867, with nearly 70k miles on it.
It has got a set of headers fitted, DRM coil over suspension, but for the rest I believe it is stock.
There are quite a few small things to be repaired but that is part of why I call it my "Toy" because I enjoy slowly getting it all sorted out, keeps me out of mischief!!!
Some of the things that need repairing are:

Vacuum pump
O2 sensors
Parking brake lever
Oil leak on the gearbox back seal
PCV system
FX3 system was removed but most of the part are there.
So as you can see nothing really major.

At the moment Im aware of 2 other ZR1's in the country but also only from photo's, one of which is really in stunning condition.
