Shelby Shines At Charity Show

A fascinating mixture of vehicles gathered at Dunstan Green for the 12th Thatcham Classic on 7 October. The meeting, organised by C&SC’s Martin Port, raised £1120 for the Rosemary Appeal Cancer Support & Renal Dialysis Unit.

Car of Show went to the fabulous 1966 Shelby GT350H that Thatcham regular Terry Bridle bought in 2004. “I don’t mind bringing it out in the rain, as long as it’s not too heavy,” he said, “because it gets a bit lively on the crossplies.” It sports the original warning label on the dashboard that reads, ‘This vehicle is equipped with competition brakes: heavier than normal brake pedal pressure may be required.’
