SUMMARY

The Shelby GT350R was launched in 2016 as a modern-day reimagination of the 1965 original, which took the motorsport world by storm with its series of successes on the track. This is one of the few examples to have found their way out of their native North American home, and it has since been fitted with a couple of well-chosen upgrades. Driven for just 8,510 miles, it would now make a natural addition to any performance-focused collection and is sure to draw plenty of interest at car shows and events.
