Beauty and Beastie
   gearing up to hit the motorways…

Time to let this Beauty go… after grasping that I logged a total of 148 miles [238 km] over the past five years, I’m looking forward to have someone else bask in the adventures this awesome Cobra can provide.

This Royal Blue Beast needs to be driven!

There are only 5,235 miles [8,400 km] on this 23-year-old Beauty, and it’s all original, as delivered from (Superformance Dealer) Dynamic Motorsports (Ross, Ohio), except for the parking brake connecting rod and the clutch slave cylinder, and of course, routine maintenance items such as oil, spark plugs and battery.

This serpent has always been garage kept and under a Superformance cloth cover… you’ll encounter that trusty original cloth dust cover in a motorcar stable shot below.

Time for me to purchase that camper van I always wanted and travel this wonderful country with my wife (Beauty) and Mini Aussie (our Aussie mini-shepherd K9 Beastie named “Ginny”.)…
