Not an original, sure, and too many cylinders, perhaps, but still able to turn heads nonetheless...
It’s all wrong! Too many cylinders! Yeah, true. A Cobra without a V8 is like a England without Harry Kane. On the other hand, you could argue that running a Cobra with twelve cylinders is like fielding Kane with bionic legs, because it’s not often you hear people say, “Oh crumbs that’s way too many cylinders for me.” And it’s a cracking engine, too.
The example we have here is a little more sedate - if that’s the right word for it. This Jaguar V12 is in its original state: 5.3-litres fed by four carbs. That said, the carbs are SUs instead of the Strombergs, which the Jaguar supplied back in the day. There’s no mention of this car’s power output, but the fact that the V12 seems largely stock, other than the carbs, side-exiting exhausts and individual air filters, presumably means it’s around the quoted 272hp and 304lb ft.
Dax is one of the most recognised producers of replica Cobras. The company, based in North Weald, Essex, began building fibreglass mouldings for cars in 1968. In 1975 the AC Ace’s designer, John Tojeiro, became a director of the company and that’s when the Cobra replica became known as the Dax Tojeiro. Dax is still going, under the current stewardship of John Kox, who took control in 2017. The Tojeiro is still part of its catalogue, albeit it's now called the Dax 427.
