EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Cobra replica was manufactured by sports car specialist DAX Cars, which was the first British brand to make a faithful replica of the original AC 427 Cobra, and in the 1970s had the original designer of the AC Ace, John Tojeiro, on its team to ensure as much accuracy as possible.
• This example is finished in the quintessential shade of Guardsman Blue with contrasting Wimbledon White racing stripes, over a Crema leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting navy seat piping and carpets, and brushed metal and chrome trim.
• It rides on a set of 18-inch Halibrand-style split-rim alloy wheels with faux three-spoke knock-offs, shod in Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tyres.
• Equipment includes glass side wind deflectors, twin chrome roll-over bars, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a Willans driver’s harness, a billet aluminium gear knob, push-button start, ETB Instruments gauges, and elasticated door card storage pockets.
