SOLD! Congratulations to Charlie on becoming the new owner of this incredible Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 🤝

Finished in stunning Kona Blue Metallic with white Shelby racing stripes, this UK-supplied 2010 GT500 was a true collector-grade example showing just 23,900 miles from new. With only 2 former keepers, a superb history file, original Shelby documentation and build number #2387 of 3,532 produced for 2010, it was a very special car.

Powered by Ford SVT’s legendary 540BHP supercharged 5.4-litre V8 and 6-speed manual gearbox, it delivered everything a Shelby should — performance, presence and an unforgettable soundtrack.

Thank you for your business and welcome to the Retro family!

Similar low-mileage, collector-quality Shelby GT500s wanted. Please get in touch if you’re considering selling.

SOLD! Congratulations on becoming the new owner of the Lincoln Continental, after 7 years and plenty of cups of tea, we finally got a deal done ☕😂

A rare and distinctive daily driver, this beautifully presented Reserve model was finished in black metallic with black leather interior and 19-inch polished alloy wheels. Powered by the superb 3.0L twin-turbo V6 producing 400BHP with AWD, it offered the perfect blend of luxury, performance and refinement. With just 22,000 miles, 2 keys, original brochure and only 2 previous owners, this was an exceptionally well cared for and seldom-seen example in Europe. Originally part of Ford’s export inventory and first registered in the UK in 2020, it really was something a little different.

Thank you for your business and enjoy the car, plus welcome to the Retro family!

A little glimpse behind the scenes! Out putting some test miles in our Daytona, freshly completed and now ready for the road. Powered by a 5.0L Coyote V8 and paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, this machine is nothing short of incredible.

Parked up next to the 2010 Shelby GT500 too… not a bad 2 car garage!

Read what Graham and Jackie had to say about their 5 Star experience at Retro 👇”We travelled 300 miles to view a car at Retro Classic Car. We spent a couple of hours in Adrian and Sam’s wonderful showroom chatting about cars, although we didn’t make a purchase. However, we bought a Corvette C1 from them a few months later, unseen, as we had so much faith in them both. It was delivered safely in an enclosed trailer, and we are absolutely over the moon with it. I was in the car trade for over 30 years, and have never met such genuine, knowledgeable and enthusiastic people as Adrian and his son Sam. If you want to buy a classic car, you must go to Retro Classic Car”

Swipe through the photos above to see the beautiful 1962 Corvette C1 Graham & Jackie purchased. An exceptional, upgraded example finished in Satin Silver Metallic with a red interior.
