• An example of DAX's wonderful Cobra recreation
• Finished in deep metallic Grey with contrasting Silver twin stripes over a Grey leather interior
• In the same family ownership from new
• Genuine 699 miles from new

Auctioneer’s Notes:

This is one of the eye-catching DAX Cobra 427, expertly built by DB Replicas of Talke, Staffordshire. Finished in a deep metallic Grey with contrasting Silver twin stripes over a Grey leather interior, this example perfectly captures the aggressive stance and unmistakable presence of the legendary Cobra. Showing just 699 miles from new and remaining within one family ownership since its completion, it is offered for sale following The Vendor's late husband’s ownership, with the vehicle only recently transferred into her name to facilitate the sale.

Maintenance & Condition:

This is a lightly used example that has been stored for the last 4 years of so and might require some recommissioning. The paintwork would benefit from attention to bring it up to a higher cosmetic standard, offering scope for improvement, while the interior remains in keeping with the car’s exceptionally low mileage.

History:

Built by DB Replicas, a well-regarded UK manufacturer of DAX Cobra recreations, this example is accompanied by a detailed history file. Included are invoices documenting the full rebuild, along with the original construction guide and amendments paperwork, providing a fascinating insight into the build and specification. Having covered just 699 miles from new and retained within one family ownership, the provenance is both clear and reassuring.

The Model:

The AC Cobra 427 is one of the most iconic sports cars ever produced, famed for its lightweight construction and immense V8 performance. DAX-built Cobras are widely regarded among the finest recreations, offering exceptional engineering quality while preserving the raw and visceral driving experience that made the original so legendary.

Sale Insight:

With ultra-low mileage and having been in just one-family ownership, this DAX Cobra 427 represents a rare opportunity. While the paintwork offers scope for cosmetic enhancement, the car’s provenance, build quality and presentation make it an exciting and rewarding proposition for enthusiasts seeking an iconic Cobra experience.
