Ta Chris, much better the right way up
The car's one of those modern "continuation" thingies that Shelby does so it's got aircon, modern flush-fit door handles, etc. etc. Guess he's just put a "personalised" plate on it?
Nice motor though. Looked properly sorted with such things as custom-shaped rubber side window seals and the like. Sounded the biz too through those sidepipes!

Looks like it was IVA'd/Registered in October 2011.Originally Posted by Lancialulu
I'm guessing it's a Superformance who market their Coupe as the Shelby Daytona Coupe. See HERE
Strictly it should be registered as a Superformance but some considered wording on the V5 application may have resulted in what you now see on the DVLA website.

A bit more info for you on the Shelby. Built by HiTech Auto (who brand is Superformance) under licence from Shelby. The car was the first RHD car built for the RR Financial Director. He specified a $20,000 option to have it registered as a Shelby. It has the correct chassis number CSX9122 (X for eprort) and was number 122 in the series. So no smoke and mirrors at DVLA on this occasion.
When he told me it was a Shelby, I assumed it was an American-made motor made by them, same as the Cobras they do. Knew about the Superformance ones, and their Cobras are Shelby-authorised, so... am I wrong/confused and ALL the Shelby motors are made by Superformance? Actually...why am I asking that, on a Stratos website...!
No wonder it looked properly put together though, HiTech are mahooosive. Biggest auto plant in South Africa, I believe. (Or could be wrong...again...)
HiTech also built the bodies and chassis of the Noble M12 then shipped here for drivetrain fitment. Do they still build the later Nobles?
