Thumbs up I was rummaging through the latest (June) Kit Car magazine...and...

......there, before my eyes. on p. 12 (top) was an article on the afrementioned Venom (article is entitled "Venomous Snake"). However, as soon as I paged onwards, I found that low-slung thingamabobbie which I had confused with the Venom. In retrospect, I guess "Venom" was a non-COBRA name, and I guess I was therefore thinking non-cobra. In any case, there in black and white is the car I saw on the North Shore (of Massachusetts). It's called a "Dragon" and it appears on pp. 28, 46 and 71 (ad for shop in New Hampshire that makes them). Subsequently, I have seen a wild metallic green "Dragon" and talked to the owner. He says people mistake it for a Beck-built Lister all the time!
Sorry to have extended my confusion to innocents.

Starboard-side battery is double-shotted and run out, in case I receive any broadsides from that other glacial moraine lying to the south of mine!
