A Glasgow man has become one of the first in the UK to own a brand-new Corvette supercar.
Luxury car enthusiast Derek Provan picked up the keys to his Corvette C8 Stingray from Arnold Clark, who recently partnered with the US sports car brand.
The supercars, which were built for the UK market with right-hand-drive models, are available for the first time at Arnold Clark Corvette branches in Glasgow and Manchester.

Mr Provan said: “I’ve owned prestige cars for a while and it’s always been a dream of mine to own an American supercar, but I never fancied the left-hand drive.
“I was near the new Arnold Clark Corvette showroom in Glasgow a week before it opened and noticed the row of Corvettes lined up outside.
“They immediately caught my attention.
“I’ve always loved the old Corvette Stingrays and when I was told this one was right-hand drive, it was meant to be.
“It’s a real head-turner.
“I’ve not seen anyone else out on the roads in one yet, I love that it’s different and feels so sophisticated.
“The staff at Arnold Clark were really helpful and made the process so simple.”

Callum Rankin, group brand director at Arnold Clark, said: “Congratulations to Derek, who has picked up the keys to his new Corvette, I know he loves the car already and we wish him many years of happy driving.
“We’re delighted to welcome Corvette to the UK market, the models have already proved to be very popular.
“It’s great to be able to offer our customers access to these award-winning cars at our showrooms in Glasgow and Manchester.”
The Corvette E-Ray, the first-ever electrified all-wheel Corvette, and the quickest Corvette in history, is also due to arrive at Arnold Clark branches this summer.
