Greetings!
To our utter delight, we've received our inventory of the new Shelby Biography two weeks early. If you ordered it from us previously, your book and autographed photograph shipped yesterday. We highly recommend this book and provide more info on it, and the exclusive photo offer, below.
We're on the run to Pomona this weekend for the AHA event so don't have much time to chat right now. We did however want to let you know of the book's early arrival as well as thank all of you who came to our Open House last weekend. We had 11 Cobras attend, a similar number of Datsuns and a whole bunch of really great people, including BRE's championship driver John Morton. When we get a moment we'll post photos from the event onto our website.

New Shelby Biography
This is the Real Deal
|
I highly recommend this book. Rinsey Mills, noted UK author and automotive historian has left no stone unturned in the quest to produce the complete study of a remarkable life. With Carroll's collaboration, Rinsey has carried out extensive research and conducted numerous interviews with Carroll, family, friends and those who have worked with him. I, as many (especially Carroll), have been working with Rinsey for a few years now as he's been researching and writing this book. This biography is not the usual fluff. Here at last is the real, raw, high octane truth, right from Shelby's first memory as a child through to the present day. Mills has it all in fascinating detail that can be as outrageous as it is funny. It's all there including the whole deeply researched early automotive history in Texas with Jim Hall, Shelby's racing days in Europe and, of course, the legendary Cobra and Ford eras, as well as the years with Toyota and Chrysler. It also includes Carroll's "lost" years in Africa. It's all etched deeply in the pages of this fantastic 500+ page volume that took Mills several years to research and write.
I personally recommend this fine book as one of the most interesting and intriguing biographies you'll ever have a chance to read. Having spent several years of my life with Shelby I thought I knew more than most...I wasn't even close. Rinsey has it all!
With each book order we are including a 6"x9.25" archive photo reprint of Carroll and I that was taken to promote the Driving School back in '62. Go here to order yours now and we'll ship you the book and archive photo signed by me.
