R-Shelbys in Europe:
5R539 was sent directly to Claude, not via FAV, it was owned by Ford Belgium, Antwerp and just driven by Claude (as he confirmed himself), it had a red on white 43.S.10 licence plate with several holes, the number/letter combination indicates that it was a plate used until 1962.
5R209 was obviously sent to Bruxelles autoshow from FAV (the picture was taken at the show by Emil Sterckx, a former and current dutch Mustang racer), the contract orgainzed between Ford France and Martial Delalande/J.P. Hanrioud (with swiss geneve licence plates), before being used by the Ecurie Filipinetti/Peter Schetty. Acc. to some earlier report Ford France had a problem to licence these racing cars and used sometimes belgium or other countries licence plates, if possible.
5R107 was given to Ford Germany/Jochen Neerpasch, later appeared with the PKX207D (1966 plates) english licence plates for a period, so most probably still in ownership of FAV.
5R097 - very few early pics around, sold from FAV to Ecurie Filipinetti appeared only with swiss Geneve licence plates.
