Dating from July 2006 this exceptional Dax Tojeiro Cobra has been with out enthusiast vendor for the past four years during which time he has thoroughly enjoyed his tenure seeing various jaunts to Goodwood, Le Mans and a host of classic and sports car shows at which its been very much admired. Purchased by our vendor from specialist dealer Sovereign in Hampshire in late 2016 the car is of course one of John Tojeiro’s Dax Cobras – he of the AC Ace design fame of course. The car is finished in the attractive hue of Shelby light metallic blue with light silver Le Mans stripes, tan interior, grey carpets and leather cockpit surround. Engine wise, we see here the cherry atop, it’s a J.E Developments alloy 4.6 V8 – John Eales is considered the bees knees when it comes to the Rover V8 – potent being a mild way of putting it.

A quick and very usable example in super order with all the noise, presence, looks and performance you might wish for. Very cool indeed.
