Rob Hackett

Rob Hackett owned the Corvette for a little over a year, selling it to help fund the purchase of a Lamborghini Diablo (I later learnt that the Diablo purchase never eventuated). Rob was a real 'car guy', he raced historic Alfa Romeos and had owned many 'hot' cars over the years. Rob was a member of the Highland Cruisers car club, and the Corvette was shown at club events.

Rob did some suspension work on the Corvette, including a few new rubbers and bushings and fitting Koni shocks all round. He also fitted a new 600cfm Holley 4150 carb (same spec as standard).
