Included in the display will be a 1949 MG TC driven by Shelby in his first competitive event in 1952. The car was borrowed from a friend at a meeting in Oklahoma; Shelby won the race and the rest is history.
His ensuing career as a racing driver took him to Goodwood for the first time seven years later.
