In this episode, Randy and Alex sit down with Shelby expert, restorer, journalist, author, and frequent BaT seller Colin Comer. The talk about his path from his first MGB GT into the world of bargain Ferraris on his ultimate path to Shelby collection and expertise; a (literal) run-in with the law as a teenager in a rusty GTV; his hot take on the Cobra Daytona Coupe versus a plain-Jane roadster; sharing a Lister Knobbly with Sam Smith for a thousand miles; telling Keith Martin to stick to sports cars; the pitfalls and history-preserving rewards of being talked into book authorship while driving a 427 Cobra in the snow; buying "plenty" of Bugeye Sprites on the advice of Peter Egan; and important things scrawled on bathroom walls.
