● Tool-room copy of the 1965 Shelby PR car ● Exceptionally well-built in 2016 by specialists Burgol in Switzerland ● Much campaigned and famously known to be very fast on track ● FIA HTP valid until 2029 ● Belgian road registration (1965 Shelby Cobra) ● Eligible for numerous events For the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Mk III, powered by the huge and powerful Ford 7.0-litre (427ci) Side Oiler' engine, a new chassis and body were designed and developed in cooperation with Ford in Detroit.

The new chassis was built using 4・ (101.6mm) main chassis tubes (up from 3・) and coil spring suspension all around; the latter was an especially significant change up front, where the previously used transverse leaf spring had also served as the top link.

The new car also had wider wings and a larger radiator intake.

Two prototypes were sent from the UK to the USA in October 1964, and Cobra Mark III production began on 1st January 1965.
