How few!!

I thought that there would be hundreds of UK V8 Camaros.
Looks like I was wrong.

We truly are unique.
Couldn't see 5th gen V6 though or does that include all V6 + V8's.
Strange to see how many are SORN.

That website doesn't show cars that were imported, only EU registered ones. For example, on my logbook it says make chevrolet, model unknown.

I think there are hundreds and hundreds but only a few people say hello on here.

I guess it's the UK agents who are lazy with the paperwork. You can't see the difference between a Chevrolet Camaro and a Chevrolet Spark. Haha

I reckon <200 gen 5 in the UK - here's my rationale/two pence worth; ask yourself how many you've spotted whilst out and about (not including meets/rally's/shows obviously) Since 2010 (which is when the Gen 5 first showed up on my radar) I've seen less than a dozen being driven singly on UK roads. One passed me last year in E1 outside the office and I wanted to scream at people walking past - "Jesus, look, it's a feckin' Camaro!!!!"

All of you guys should just move over to the Good ole US of Chevrolet. I see so many everyday. Even in NYC. RS, SS, 1LE, ZL1. Haven't see a Z/28 in Manhattan though. That would be a unicorn sighting. Really though ask Yellow 1 their like sheep here. Anyone want to see for yourself you can stay with me.

Soft top that could have been me, there is a yellow coupe round here too.

The guy at my local shell petrol station always tells me when the coupe has been to fill up.
