Got it!!
 
The speedo dial runs counter clockwise, so . . . . . . it tracks how fast the car is going backwards!! :D

Smiths reverse reading speedometer in a Cobra.

It's got to be Australian if it goes around backwards. :D

Carmad not only noticed the speedo but knew where it came from!

There's a place that sells exact replica Cobras (every detail and spec is exact) and you drop in the motor of your choice.

Was building a Cobra back in 1993, amazing the trivia you remember.

OK so dumb question: what is the advantage of reverse reading speedo?

D Hanson 04-16-2004 09:00 PM

That is the meanest looking car of all time. A buddy of mine has a real one and it is a blast.

My guess is when your hands are on the wheel, they do obscure the right hand side of the gauge in a Cobra.
I have rotated my 930 gauges, the speedo and the tach for better visualization on the street and the track.
