Ford Shelby GR-1

The GR-1 was shown as a clay model at the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. In 2005 a prototype was shown at the North American International Auto Show. Ford had originally thought the GR-1 would follow in the footsteps of the Ford GT-40 but financial concerns prevented that. In 2019 Superformance reached a licensing agreement with Ford and American Shelby to build a limited number of the cars. Government regulations on limited production vehicles in the US changed shortly thereafter and the project was abandoned. Read a more complete story on the GR-1 on Hagerty.

1976 Reliant Robin

This robin and custom trailer sold at auction in England last year for less than $2200. It had been fully restored. It is easy for me to say at that price point had it been available at that price near me it would have been sitting in my garage. I have always had a soft spot for the Reliant Robin and its four wheel sister the Kitten. Read more about this Robin at smallcarclub.
