Common sense would tell me that the photographer (acting as a business) would have had to get you to sign a release form allowing the image of something that you privatly own be displayed publically.
I assume this would have been done to display the pictures in Street Machine magazine?
But in the contract did it advise the images may be onsold or forwarded to other media?
In the long run you are still the registered owner of that vehicle, so I would have assumed you had some sort of right to declare ownership of the images?
I think if you tried to call it a Cobra you would get laughed at by most of your mates, because it is a Kobra.
