He entered several competitions, often racing in his stripey farmer"s boiler suit as he"d come straight from work. And those stripes appeared later on the Cobra 427. By 1954, Shelby was one of the world"s most promising drivers, and set 70 land-speed records in an Austin-Healey. But a serious heart condition, diagnosed when he was 36, forced Shelby to give up racing - and he got involved in car development. In 1961, he mailed a proposal to AC Cars of Thames Ditton, Surrey, suggesting it fit a small-block Ford V8 into the Ace - and four years later, the Shelby Cobra 427 was born. Shelby has been involved with performance Fords ever since...

Faded black plastic...

Faded black plastic trim can spoil your carò€™s looks, so to freshen it up you need trim dressing like this Prolong Super Protectant.

Once we had washed and dried our test vehicle, we used the product on various areas, from the wing mirror housings to the rubber spoiler, mudflaps and window seals. The trigger spray was fine for large areas, but weò€™d apply to a cloth first if dealing with a small section.

Super Protectant was quickly absorbed by our spoiler, but was easy to spread around other less porous areas of plastic before drying ò€“ at which point you can buff off. Impressively, it beaded water away instantly, acting just like a thick wax coating. And even after three weeks it was still working.

The liquid was good at cleaning any marked trim, and it shifted old polish residue with minimum effort. But while it performs well and can be used on cabin trim, the high Ò£17.50 price counts against it.
