Looks like there was a limited number built by Bill shepherd under licence for Shelby - converted from a RHD GT

why willwood brakes when OEM Ford GT350/R or GT500 brakes would do and keep it in the family.

I know that a few car have been sent over to Shelby in the US for them to do there magic on, so it is possible

 

[GR11M]

It just look like a normal GT with a few unusual mods, I'm not convinced, especially at that price.

It’s easy to check just ring Shelby, they will be able to tell you

I don't doubt they're "official", it just looks more like Shelby were thrown a few quid to stick their name on a car that someone else's built to a different specification. It's not even close enough to be a replica.

That’s Bill Shepherds demo car

I might get flamed for this, but dare I say it doesn't even look that well done ... ?

It's not quite got the stance or the appearance of being OE - to me, it looks more like a GT with a Cervini hood and some Shelby bits bolted on ...

'American' version for comparison (note different hood) :

And let's not get started on the fit and finish of the grill ...

It's still cheaper than a Clive Sutton build lol

For this sort of money I would rather have a Shelby GT500 as you should be able to get one for around £100,000 if you import one yourself

There nothing wrong with a Cervini hood if I was after a Super Snake I would send one over to Shelby in the states to be done, as I don’t class one made here a Shelby

Absolutely, nothing wrong with Cervini and I suspect most of us will end up with one in future - but it’s not Shelby specific like the one fitted in the states
