First of all we needed to find out what was out there, as luck would have it a kit car show was due to be held at stonleigh.If you have ever attended you will realise just how popular this show is for cobra owners and other enthusiasts alike.
Looking around at the cars you could see how much attension had been lavished on them and all were exellent examples of what we were looking for.But one particular type stood out to our eyes...the Dax Tojeiro.So off we went to chat with Simon at the stand of D.J Sportscars( www.daxcars.co.uk ),and arranged an appointment at their harlow factory to test drive a cobra.
When we arrived we had already decided to test the V12 Tojeiro,as we already had a lot of parts (including V12 engine and all suspension components),the car we tried had a 5speed gearbox and the acceleration was awsome and so was the howl from the exhuasts!
We arrived back at the factory grinning from ear to ear and ordered one on the spot.We chose the supertube chassis for its exellant handling and its lower weight,larger bonnet to accept the 6 down draft weber carbs,the body to be coloured in red gel coat all to be delivered to my house with a few extra`s such as windscreen,shocks,springs,wiring and wheels.
