Don't get this at all. It appears to be an ebay auction/advert for a book, with a photo of some kind of Cobra at a show (NEC?), and the category is classic motorcycle parts. Eh?

...and to think that if the EU 'roadworthiness certificate' proposals for old cars are adopted, that car will be unusable as it will not be able to get an MOT due to the modifications. Might make a dent in its value...

that's if the ethanol coming into petrol doesn't kill it first..

Oh what a cheery post!

Hehehe. The Old Geezer was mildly amused to know that he was in this ad, but, fair play, when I asked the seller to remove the photo from the ad his response was almost immediate!
The car is discussed on the ACOC forum, http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/top ... IC_ID=1957 , and has been described as everything from a modified Ace (which it IS) to Shelby's 'missing link'!!!

It's not an easy car to sell,it would appear, but let's hope in the name of sanity that Euro-regs don't destroy the modified vehicle industry and all that that entails :twisted:
