Default Now I have seen the Shelby turbine car painted in a photo
It is in the new book The Shelby American Story
Author: Art Evans
It is a front 3/4 view
the paint job is quite elaborate, not done in a hurry with lots of
striping, etc.
Hope someday the car is restored and we can see it run
at a vintage race like we did the Ray Heppenstall turbine GT car

Even if they have to have a different brand jet engine
Incidentally in the book which i will review soon, Evans hints the secret trap door to let in more air (more than the rules allowed) was on the bottom of the car.
