Saw these at al Ford meet Sat. Distributed out of Chatanooga, TN. From South Africia, well built. $26K turn key minus less engine, transmission and drive shaft. Anybody heard of these? cb

They had one displayed at the last DVSF... One of the Ohio guys bought it and is in the process of swapping out his engine from another Cobra he owns.. Apparently he knew Cobras and was impressed enough to buy it...
I'm sure there is a website....

Hi Chiperb,
I have a 98 model Shamrock down here in Cape Town, SA, factory assembled on my doorstep. I am really happy with my car, there maybe better chassis options but these offer value for money and are easy to improve on the standard issue. I just drool at what some of you US boys achieve but the overall satisfaction comes from being behind the wheel and getting that strong backdraft on your head in what is my dream car. Running with a 351-4v.

Hello,
I ordered a car from Shamrock Autocraft in Chattanooga. It should be here sometime in December. I'm putting a stroked 351W in it w/ a Tremac TKO II. I can't wait for it to get here! The owners, John & Randy Crawford, are great guys to work with. As far as the car goes, for what your getting, it's hard to beat the price. I also have an 11 year old Shamrock that I bought used a couple years ago. It has held up great....no stress cracks, or squeaks, & the doors shut like new! The Jag rear end & 4 wheel independent suspension is a great combination in these cars. I put a picture of the older Shamrock in my picture gallery if you want to see an older one. As soon as I get my new one in, I'll put some pictures of it up.
