My Car is NOT An MR2! - FULL TOUR Of My Cobra REPLICA!

FANHOME Dodge Charger: bit.ly/AdamC3046
Early-Bird Code: PROMOADAM
An overview of my 2005 Dax Tojeiro AC Cobra 427 replica! I realised that I never uploaded a full explanation and tour around my Cobra, so last summer I filmed a video. Since filming I have indeed replaced my headlights to a more classic Lucas lense, but it is otherwise the same as in the video, I hope you enjoy my explanation of the car.

I look forward to seeing this in person this year. Looks stunning and sounds incredible!

[@johnl4262]

Great video! Seen your Cobra a couple of times... Always looks amazing. Had a good chat with you about it last July at a GVJ meet. Cobra is a dream car of mine since I saw it in the 1976 Gumball Rally movie!

[@chilldrive8409]

You must love so much the cold start in the winter... the start up sounds soooo gooooodd !!

Lovely car, great in-depth walk around, sounds insane too.

[@chappy2121]

Had a look at one of these a few years ago. Belonged to my Dad's mate, bought it when he sold his farm. His was the wrong colour BRG but with the lovely 5.7 chevy v8. Those Dax reps are the nuts

[@mossy6144]

Pop along to Thames Ditton where the original AC Ace was made, Its at Ferry Works

[@davekennedy6315]

What an incredibly beautiful car Adam. You're a lucky guy. I used to work in Witham, Essex right beside a company that made replica Cobras and D (i think? The racing type with a bubble behind the drivers head) Jags. It was great as i used to see and hear V8s and straight 6s being started and tested down the nearby A12. The Cobras were far and away my favourites, they sound like thunder when floored and the howl they used to make being thrashed along the A12 (at very, very illegal speeds by the sounds being emanated!) was truly glorious to the ears! These were very high end replicas from what i remember (i believe they were sold for £100+grand and that was in 1991!) Does anyone know what company this was? I can't for the life of me remember the companies name? Again, you're a very lucky guy and if i ever get a lottery win i'll definitely be buying my own Cobra replica.

[@davekennedy6315]

Oops, forgot to add that these Witham made Cobras/D types were all ready built. I don't think the company sold the cars in kit form?

[@meeshker]

My first car at 18 was a Austin Healey 3000 mk2. Learned to drive in it. Drove around England, Wales and the Highlands of Scotland and used it to go to work. This was 1979

[@finnk1104]

Hey Adam, great vid as always. Do you think if you put a gopro on your rollbar it would almost be like a POV drive

[@MrDonkeyoti]

Great looking car and it does what matters,puts a smile on your face enjoy

[@maitrikashin3906]

Finally! A RHD Cobra replica. Are they still making these? How do you go for compliance and registration of a kit car in the U.K. (including the Caterham)? Things like new kit/replica cars needing to meet new car safety and compliance regulations (safety standards, ESC/ABS, noise levels and pollutant emission controls, etc) are hurdles to overcome down here in OZ/NZ. Although Fraser do have a very successful Lotus 7/Caterham replica business in NZ, so there must be a way.

[@charliereid2872]

We took our cobra on Cadwell park , slowest in corners , unbeatable in straights got upto 140 in it

[@azisalive4972]

Great tour! You did what I could only wish..including the duct tape! Point is, you made the car your own in time and it looks and sounds great! Would love to get to a meet and see you and one of your cars. Oh, and my initials are A.C too! Keep bringing us those cool clips mate! #everyonelovesawhitechaser #bringbackneons

[@AdamC3046]

Thank you :)

[@peterrose5746]

Ik enjoyed the tour. Was that a Summit Racing battery? Liked the model Dodge, I could see you Adam owning a Dodge Charger as some point!

[@stewartw.9151]

Nice motor there. But why is the front end light at 80+ mph? I had a Cobra replica with Ford 302 and it always felt pretty solid. Even one night when I took it to the max on the motorway. 4700 rpm was the max I saw in 5th (Borg-Warner T5 box) and with the gearing and tyre size etc, that worked out to 147 mph. With the drag about the same as a shoebox no more revs could be developed, like pushing against a solid wall of air at such a speed. Felt good and stable but things sure move by rather quickly! With your 350 Chev you should be able to see the fabled 160 mph or close to that which some Cobras could achieve.

[@AdamC3046]

This was an old video filmed in the summer, and I got that speed wrong. It's more likely over 100 (after having put it on a runway), that the steering gets light. Original Cobras got light at speeds too (same body shape), which is why the Daytona Coupe exits.

[@stewartw.9151]

@@AdamC3046 I wonder is it not the tyres? I ran Goodyear Eagle GT tyres 225/70x15 on the front, 255/70 x 15 rears, and found that the car behaved best with pressures as low as 1 Bar - 14.8 lbs! At first I worried about such a low pressure but with a relatively large footprint and light weight (1020 kg) it worked out fine over the 10 years and around 60k kms I had the car.

[@AdamC3046]

@@stewartw.9151 Nah, it's the car. I've had these and Toyo Proxes T1S on the car and it does it. Cobra reps are known for it for the same reason as original Cobras were. You must've had a well set up one.

[@craigorford9932]

Love the Dax cobra,I would love a superformance cobra,But it has to be a 427ci.I have seen a few Dax ones driving around.The Daytona cobra looks cool as well

[@skithewhitestuff]

That’s one gorgeous car Adam

[@MacheteMB1775]

my big cuz worked for c&cc mag he showed me a lot of cobra kits on paper and the go for rover v8 all that jazz

[@accobra383]

Hi Adam, a very interesting video. A couple of points, the steering wheel is/should be a Moto Lita. A SBC shouldn't really be running that cool and may explain some of your fuel economy (if you were actually really concerned about it ;-) and running issues? And lastly, I think you need to have your front end geometry looked at, it should still feel really planted all the way up to 140+ and be totally fit for the track? Still, a very good looking car :-)

[@AdamC3046]

Yeh the wheel is a Moto Lita. I think it's more likely the gauge reads low, the car runs fine. The front end doesn't get horrendously light, I just notice it at speeds over a certain figure. Original Cobras did too due to their body shape, hence the introduction of the Daytona Coupe.

[@markbezzy]

regarding the colours on the badge falling off you can use enamel model shop paint little brush and paint it in i had same problem with some type r badges

[@AdamC3046]

Did that and the paint still flaked off (not as easily, but it still happened)

[@markbezzy]

@@AdamC3046 in that case what better excuse to replace with ac badges :)

[@Baggedbug]

Adam: no entertainment here Me: driving the car is the entertainment for me

[@starzx6475]

Btw if it paint come off the cobra badge I recommend you to paint the badge black or gold as it look very nice

[@matton36]

Good to see this car. My mate has one here in Australia except it does indeed have a 427 Ford motor in it. The rear fender issue you speak of isnt caused by the manufacturer, its caused by the tiny wheels. You need some big fat rubber on the rear to fill those fenders in. Thats how we do it in Australia anyway.

[@AdamC3046]

The rear wheels aren't tiny, it's due to the body shape.

[@adeporter6611]

Love it 😍

[@rogerthat10-47]

I actually have an "Arse" with a "Crack" in it & it works pretty well. If you Laquer the s#it out of your badges before you put them on they will last much longer. Send your hubs to an engineering shop tell them what you need & they will do the job for you, I used "Blackpool Road & Rally" but that was quite a bit back, excellent job, excellent price, & that "Extra Inch" will make all the difference.

[@QKvox]

It sounds sooooooo good

[@sandyshine6690]

Stunning car 😎

Adam, thanks for another entertaining video. Your Cobra is stunning! I'd be proud to own such a gorgeous car. 🙂🙂 IM 😎

yep

The kit in commercial in begining is one of those kits that 1st part cost 1 dollar, and rest of them cost 10 dolars and there is 150 parts ?

[@ashcadelanne8524]

Nice car, great tour👍 one question though...what are they on your feet?! 😂😅

[@AdamC3046]

They'd be shoes.

[@kieranraynor3392]

So with it being a replica does it still class as an old car ? Or a new one that’s what’s always confused me

[@johntisbury]

FYI the steering wheel is made by Mota Lita who made the originals ones too.

[@AdamC3046]

Thanks, I did think that but had no confirmation

[@stewartw.9151]

That is the wheel to have!

[@pedrohead_uk]

Awesome car! Would love a go in that 😁

[@GETGRIP]

adam, put a drop of epoxy resin on top of a new badge then it won't loose colour

[@Nathan-by3wb]

When or will there be a mgb progress video?

[@AdamC3046]

When the trimmer gets his act together and finishes the car.

[@norbert5755]

Haven't watched the Video All the way through Yet But Is the car a Custom Chassis Or Is It Based On a More Common car E.g. Fiero's (Ofc not a Fiero) If you'd replicate a Ferrari. I suppose what I Am Asking Is what Is/was the donor car For the Cobra?

[@AdamC3046]

Watching the video all the way through may well answer that question.

[@jamtart606]

Love it 👍

[@richardjordan2535]

[@janpagan8970]

Beatiful car ✌

[@Scoobiewrx295]

Awesome car

[@stu0508]

Jaguar Chassis? I think you mean front and rear subframes? The chassis is Dax's own. A brief history, John Tojeiro's lasting legacy was in producing a design in the 1950's which AC Cars developed into the AC Ace. From the Ace, Carroll Shelby in turn developed the AC Cobra, marrying a thunderous American V8 engine with the lightweight British chassis. The British company, Dax then started making Cobra replicas in 1968 but in 1975 John Tojeiro, became a director of the company and the car was renamed the Dax Tojeiro. So in a weird way your car is not a replica ;).

[@H3adhunterzzz]

i wanted to buy the magazin and stuff.. i have money on my account and my (dutch bank card) connected. but it says i cant pay with it....

[@brettjones5247]

You need apply paint protection film below the stone guards.

[@AdamC3046]

Nah

[@lukefitzgerald1787]

You can repair the badge by using drops of coloured epoxy resin. Won't come off ever again😁

[@Madogen]

Are you able to get a new Cobra badge and varnish or Lacquer it for extra protection?

[@AdamC3046]

I have since painted the colour back in :)

[@osianjohngriffithkeily2074]

Get spacers where you bolt them on to the hub and then bolt the wheels onto the spacer?

Nope, can't do that due to the nature of the hub & wheels
