Dax Tojeiro De Dion 427

This is a Dax Tojeiro De Dion 427, a Shelby Cobra replica from a maker that has been building Cobra recreations since the late 1960s. It was commissioned in 2007 and built by Dave Brookes of DB Replicas, an experienced Cobra builder, on a De Dion chassis.

Power comes from a 5.7-litre Chevrolet small-block V8 with big-bore 4-into-1 side-exit pipes, paired with a competition-type TCI automatic gearbox. The car is finished in Ford Imperial Blue with white stripes, with a cream leather interior, blue carpets, a Moto Lita wood-rim wheel, three-leg roll bars and Willans harnesses. 17-inch Halibrand-style wheels complete the look.

It has covered about 11,000 miles since the build and has been MOT tested almost every year since its IVA test. The current MOT runs to August 2026. A colour-coded Le Mans-style hardtop with opening rear hatch and a full tonneau are included, as are nudge bars, over-riders and exhaust heat shields, which are not currently fitted.
