Just noticed it's a 12 cyl. So Maserati? Ferrari? Either way, not a lot of those in my world..

No. A close look at the engineering could be a hint.

The only 12 cylinder car to enter my world was Jaguar..I don't think that's it.

Okay...these are the in the bumper 914 fog lights. I bought a rusted out set because the good lenses were also used here:

snout of a late 60s cougar? And is the 12 cyl engine a BMW?

Nope.

Mercedes Benz?

Nope.

Is the V-12 a Footwork Porsche 3512?

Cobra? Not factory wheels, but probably as rare as hens teeth.

Sunbeam Taillight late 50's?

TR4 (or 4a)

Zonda

Morgan?

It is fairly rare because it was on one of the 289 Competition Cobras that was a true barn find. It was restored by Legendary Motorcar a few years ago. I think they did a pretty good job.....take a look for yourself.

If you're really bored, you can take a look at this link for the pictorial.....it was in pretty bad shape.

Wow...proof that anything can be restored, given enough money and time.

Yep.

Exhaust was a dead giveaway....

YES!

You get the cigar, chicken dinner, tumbler of scotch and the blow job.

I photographed this with the iPhone just the other day. It's a gorgeous motor, but I gather it looks better than it was......

Nope, it has to be a BN-1 or BN-2, the BN-4 has the oval grill and is the model 100-6 four seater. I have a BN-6 which is the two seater of the 100-6's.

I was leaning towards a BN 1 myself. Or what was that early A H, a 100
Oh and what about that cougar snout? have the details come to light?
I love this thread, and predict good things for its future!

Oh offering prizes, are we Dottore? So what has my correct guess on the little Cobra earned me?

1955 Mercury Montclair with Sun Valley option.

Holy moley. impressive. '56 would have been right, also, but this car is in fact a '55.

I do believe you got it...

Windage tray? Damned if I know for what engine, tho..
