Dax Tojeiro De Dion 427 - AC Shelby Cobra Replica - Chevy Small Block 5. 7 V8
No Cobra needs an introduction! If you're in the market for a Cobra replica you'll already know about the Dax. The company began as DJ Sportscars in 1968, and were the first to make an AC Cobra replica kit. John Tojeiro, designer of theoriginal AC Ace chassis, was a director in the 1970s - and the decades of refinement that Dax has built into its Cobras shows through in their quality, from the fit and finish of the glass fibre mouldings, right through to the details of the construction and thought behind minor details. You will not find a better Cobra recreation than a Dax.
Commissioned in 2007 this project undertaken by well-known Cobra replica guruDave Brookesof DB Replicas - who has literally hundreds of Cobra builds under his belt and isincredibly well respected in the AC world. Since the build and subsequent IVA test, the car has been MOT tested almost every year, and has covered only 11000 miles since its build. Current MOT expires in Aug 2026
We will carry out a full inspection and service to ensure the car is ready to drive away. As you can see this car looks absolutely stunning and attracts a HUGE amount of attention here in our showroom. The quality of the Dax kit is excellent - there is absolutely no crazing of fibreglass anywhere at all. All of the panel work fits well, the doors close beautifully and the car has a beautiful stance. Trimmed in Cream leather, blue carpets with cream edging, a Moto Lita Steering wheel, smoked sun visors, 3-leg roll bars and Willans harnesses complete the look. A full tonneau is also included. A 'Le Mans' style hardtop with opening rear hatch, really adds to the car's desirability. It fits very well and is easily removable (less than 5 minutes) - it Totally changes the character of the car and give almost a two in one experience. Nudge bars, over-riders and exhaust heat shields are also included but not currently fitted. The small block Chevy engine fires into life easily and sounds naughty enough to let you now she’s not here to mess about!! ! It ticks over nicely and pulls very strongly indeed. The automatic gearbox is a joy to use, it's a competition-based unit from TCI transmissions, not an out of date substitute out of an old pickup this is the transmission to have! - it does exactly what you want it to, kicking down instantly and is incredibly responsive. These cars are just about as visceral as it gets and earned a place in the Krazyhorse wild rides showroom for obvious reasons - they're loud, brash and about as much fun as you can have legally on the road. They are not for the faint hearted, that’s why we love it.
