I was sent this by Russ Swift, the new owner of CS2030, the first Right hand drive, and Rack and Pinion Cobra:
"Attached – a copy of the feature that scarred me for life. I built a model slot car of this when I was 15.
Regards, Russ."

I think this should be it:
CAR October 1966 - Triumph GT6 GWK611D by Retro-Motoring & WoertherseePics, on Flickr
Didn`t spot this 'Classic' on the Wiki either!
CAR Magazine, November 1965 by Retro-Motoring & WoertherseePics, on Flickr

Re: '66 Car Magazine Hauser/Miles Purple Cobra article
I was just updating the wiki to include the Car article in the magazine reading list.
I think this is CSX2431 - Ken Miles' own car, bought by Hauser for $4000 according to this: http://shelbyamericancollection.org/car ... r-csx2431/ For some reason, this chassis number is not on the ACOC's register.
According to this site, Hauser entered the car in two races in 1966, but didn't attend either of them: http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/ ... r-USA.html
