Thanks to Edwin van Beurden/NL we got also detailed information on this rare Shelby Europe fastback

 



This is one of the Shelby Europe Fastbacks still located in the Netherlands and which was used as a daily driver in the 90ies. Mr. S. did not want to have his name known back then.

Edwin van Beurden - the owner of the other dutch Shelby Europe recalls:
"This cars VIN is 1F02M202548. Mr. S. restored his Shelby Europe about 12 years ago (about 1991) and his car was in the same bad condition as mine.

In the beginning he used it as a car to drive to meetings and he even did some drag-racing with it in England (UK).




For the last few years that car was parked in a parking lot in front of his house and he used it until 2001 still as a daily driver. In 2022 Arjan Nugteren posted some unpublished pictures on a Facebook site, that show Theos Shelby Europa GT350 in its blue livery.

He did'nt restore the car to original condition, he added some Magnum 500 style wheels, he threw the fog lights away because he thought the previous owner had put them on and the Ram Air and Power windows are missing."

As of 2014 finally the owner TVH contacted us - who says he bought it in 2001 from Mr. S.himself. He was about to do minor restoration work again. We linked him up with the other owners to gain more insight into details.

We hope to see it soon on the road again.
