Rexee .... Your words.
" Purchasing a car with an RWC\Safety check and an engineers report, completed by organizations authorized to carry out such work by state government authorities. Added to this, conversations prior to purchase with the above mentioned engineer confirming compliance is, on this occasion, completely flawed. Beware Buyer!! "
If this engineer confirmed compliance, why are you worried. Get him to do the work.
The following site may interest you with regards to throttle bodies, I'm not keen on their ECU but their throttle bodies are quite good.

How you go about the emission issue is a personal one. Some folks are running gas and are very happy, and you sure can get it to perform well if thats what you want.
Having said all that...We all run the gauntlet regarding compliance. There are many cobras running around whose owners know quite well that if they get caught they have no hope of passing. Dare I say, thats part of the fun.
If you want to comply and not worry, put a healthy 5LTR late model injected windsor in the thing and go enjoy the roads.
You want it to perform better, put a blower on the windsor and it'll blow the doors off most of the exotics costing 5 times more than the cobra.
Thats what choice is all about.
And...as to your comments about being an old guy..... I'm as old as dirt and you cant get older than that. The fellas on here already know that I get a mention on the sides of the pyramids.
Cleopatra and I had a thing going long time ago....she had a thing about snakes too.
