..and I have corresponded regarding the Bordinat Cobra. I saw the car circa 1981 when it was being "hidden" in a Detroit area prototype shop (it was supposed to have been crushed, several Ford people "liberated" it and hid it for years). I was reviewing a project being done there for our company, walked around a pile of styrofoan blocks and....there it was!

I have pictures of it at that time that Jeff has seen. I will re-scan them and opost them (didital files on old, crashed hard drive )

The car was a coil spring setup. To my quick look-see it looked like a Mk III type setup on a MK II frame but I could be wrong. At the time several otems had been "borrowed" off the car such as the wood steering wheel and other small items.

Still a really pretty car in the flesh, pictures do not do the proportion and flow justice.
