For sale by auction on Saturday 30 November 2013 with Historics at Brooklands. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit. Weybridge. Surrey. Call 01753 639170
The hugely charismatic DAX Cobra has remained the undisputed
market leader for more than 25 years and has steadily established
itself as a much sought after classic sports car in its own right.
The car's enduring popularity owes much to DAX's policy of
continual product improvement and painstaking attention to detail.
A number of engine choices have been used from the small-block
Chevrolet V8 to other popular engines including units from the Ford
small block and all-aluminium Chevrolet LS ranges with Rover V8 and
Jaguar units still proving highly popular with some people. It is
no exaggeration to say that these cars amaze all who go out in
them; harnessing the power with consummate ease and providing
levels of grip. composure and ride comfort that simply have to be
experienced to be believed. Even Jonathon Palmer was heard to say. br/>'Wow. that's just staggering!' when taking the new DAX demonstrator
for a few laps around Brands Hatch; great praise indeed from an
ex-F1 driver!

This DAX Tojiero Cobra was started in 1987. registered in 2001
and is fitted with a 4 litre Rover V8 engine and five speed
gearbox. In 2006 the engine was removed from the car and was
subject to a complete rebuild which also included the following:
removing the cylinder heads. polishing the valve ports and
converting them for lead free petrol. the oil pump was overhauled
and fitted with new gears. a new RC87 camshaft with new cam
followers. new timing chain and gears. the original carburettors
were replaced with a new 500CFM Edelbrock carburettor. two new
Kenlow fans and overhaul of the radiator. In total the bill
came to over £5. 00. This Cobra has recently been repainted in
Ferrari red with the addition of two broad white strips and the
chromework has been re-plated. The car has a black leather interior
and comes supplied with full mohair weather equipment. tonneau
cover. harness seat belts. stainless steel side pipe exhausts. br/>single chrome hoop roll bar. Halibrand alloy wheels and a
heater. According to an HPI check. which sources information
directly from DVLA. the donor car was manufactured in 1973 meaning
that from 2014 this car should be classed as a historic vehicle and
therefore road tax exempt. This DAX Cobra is. quite simply. br/>awesome on the road; it sounds as terrific as it handles and
drives. and the condition of the car is stunning throughout.
