Mr. Hagerty bought the car from the LA Grange, Illinois based Sports Car Store. When he bought the car the recorded mileage was at 30,000 miles. In 1973 a set of Michelin XWX tyres and ’Sanderson-headers’ were fitted. In 1978 the car was given a re-spray, the interior trim refurbished and a set of wire wheels were added. In 1981, with only 35,000 miles om the clock, it had an engine rebuild with the addition of a Holley carburettor. Furthermore a full restoration was carried out between 1988 & 1989 by the Neenah, Wisconsin based Motion Products.

In 1995 it had a recorded mileage of just 43,000 miles, it also won a concourse prize at the 1997 Chicago Historic Races. Since 1998 the car is in the hands of its last owner and registered in the Netherlands. The complete history of this car can be found in the World Registry of Cobras & GT40s. This Shelby still has its original colour combination finish of blue over red and naturally has retained its original, matching numbers engine. This is all borne out by the accompanying documentation which is available for inspection!

The Cobra handles and shifts like a new car and everything is in perfect working order. In short; a rare and authentic car with only two change of ownership in 50 years.

Gallery Aaldering is a family owned business since 1975. Founder Nico Aaldering and his son Nick are responsible for operational and executive management. The company has been in Brummen since 1987 and started on the location where they currently have their second workshop and detailing shop. Nico started very small, with only three employees. People who still work for the company today. The company grew rapidly and established a name for itself based on quality. In the nineties it was time for expansions after many years of selling Alfa Romeo, then Italian cars later on followed by British cars as well. At the end of 2000 Gallery Aaldering moved to the current premises at the Arnhemsestraat in Brummen. This showroom was build according to Nico's idea and sketches and has a Neoclassical style to match the classic cars inside. During this time Nick entered the company after finishing his studies and working for different automotive companies. Gallery Aaldering expanded and gained momentum with the decades of experience offered by Nico and the bright new ideas and progressive vision offered by Nick. The collection became more diverse with an important move upwards to higher segments. Gallery Aaldering has grown to become one of the largest classic car dealers in Europe. There are about 350 classic cars on display on four floors with a Grand Café and special rooms for business meetings. As a family owned business Gallery Aaldering is proud of its history and traditions, but the future is just as important. At the heart of this all is the passion for classic automobiles. For that reason they participate in the most impressive classic car rally in the world, the Mille Miglia. A deeply rooted love for cars. You will find this in both their genes and the identity of this family owned business.
