Rod Leach \'only\' sells real Cobras normally.  He has had this car for several years and referred to it in ads when he first got it. Like a lot of mainstream classic people he was surprised by its capabilities.  He obviously got no takers (priced way above market value even then) and kept or stored it.  Maybe a lack of experience of \'japanese fishermen\'s tales\' is the reason for the model name and the midnight society credentials. \'Bless\'.  On the plus side if he finds someone to stump up the sort of money he is asking, (+25K) even mine will instantly be worth loads more than it is now...which would be nice. :-)

I am still on the stock twins on mine and managed to get to 160 before I run out of track and there was still more to go, so it may be possible with enough power

FD\'s dont like being Top\'d out and you would need 700+ hp some thing daft like that and the cooling etc to hold that for a prelonged period, so no there isn\'t much hope of that doing 200mph.

I reckon he\'s had this car over 10 years now?

It did look quite special when it first came over.
