2022 Superformance

1960s Spirit, Modern Craft: Superformance MKIII Roadster

This is the only Shelby-sanctioned Superformance MKIII Roadster in the UK — a rare chance to own a Cobra that feels genuinely special rather than simply nostalgic.

Painted in BMW Carbon Black 416, it’s one of those colours that keeps you looking back at the car; in shade it reads as deep black, in sunlight it shows a subtle, rich blue. The right-hand drive layout houses Ford’s 5.0-litre Coyote V8 and a Tremec five-speed gearbox — a pairing that makes the car fast, tractable and easy to enjoy, not just admire.

Inside, everything is purposeful and beautifully finished: black leather seats, black carpets, Motolita wood-rim steering wheel, glove box, sun visors and a dash-mounted mirror — details that make it feel authentic but usable.

Underneath, Wilwood disc brakes all round give modern stopping power, while the knock-on Halibrand wheels with Avon CR6ZZ tyres and aluminium spinners keep the classic stance. Willans four-point harnesses hold you securely, Dynamat insulation in the transmission tunnel keeps heat and noise at bay, and the ceramic-coated headers with rear exit exhausts deliver a clean look and a superb soundtrack.

From the front bumper and rear overriders to the twin rear lights and tonneau cover, every detail nods to the original 427 while remaining practical enough for real-world use.

This car isn’t just a tribute. It’s a rare, correctly built, Shelby-approved MKIII Roadster that brings the magic of the 1960s into today. If you’ve been waiting for a Cobra you can actually drive and enjoy, this is the one worth coming to see.
