It's debatable why Shelby would need to approve an AC produced car, but I would be very surprised if he had!

The first 2 cars in the 'continuation' series, COB 5001 and COB 5002 are also on sale, both cars in S/C guise and colours.
I can not see why this car would have been listed as a Shelby approved car as he had nothing to do with it,the car was built by Steve Gray and his team at Brooklands,the body and chassis were supplied by AC.

Steve built the car after AC went into liquidation when they were based at Frimley.

I have seen this car in the flesh, a very nice car,it is now for sale in the States.
