Description

Few cars capture the spirit of the original 1960s Cobra quite like the DBR DB427SC. Combining the unmistakable shape and attitude of the legendary Shelby Cobra with modern engineering and craftsmanship, the DBR offers an exhilarating interpretation of one of the most iconic sports cars ever created.

The Cobra needs little introduction. Born from the unlikely pairing of American V8 power and lightweight British chassis engineering, the original AC Cobra quickly established itself as one of the most formidable performance cars of its era. Today, genuine examples are exceptionally rare and highly sought after, while carefully constructed recreations such as the DBR provide an opportunity to enjoy the same essential formula. Dramatic looks, immense performance and an involving, analogue driving experience.

The DB427SC faithfully captures the character of the celebrated 427 Cobra. As an exact tool-room copy with its broad-shouldered all aluminium bodywork, long bonnet, exposed side exhausts and unmistakable stance. Beneath the surface, however, the DBR benefits from contemporary construction and engineering, making it a car designed not simply to be admired, but driven and enjoyed.

At the heart of the experience is the V8 soundtrack provided by the 7-litre engine! The combination of substantial engine performance, a lightweight chassis and rear-wheel drive delivers the sort of immediacy that modern performance cars increasingly struggle to replicate. There is no shortage of theatre either. From the moment the engine fires into life, the DB427SC feels like an event.

Inside, the traditional Cobra theme continues, with a purposeful cockpit that places the emphasis firmly on the driving experience. The exposed mechanical character, classic instrumentation and close-fitting driving position all contribute to an environment that feels wonderfully connected to the machinery beneath you.

As with any Cobra-inspired car, the appeal extends far beyond outright performance. The DB427SC is a car that attracts attention wherever it goes, yet its greatest reward comes from finding an open road and enjoying the combination of sound, sensation and mechanical involvement that defines the Cobra experience.

Presented by Hilton & Moss, the DB427SC offers an opportunity to own a beautifully executed interpretation of one of motoring's most enduring icons. Finished in its Bare Aluminium metalwork, with bronze wheels, black leather seats and harnesses alongside a wonderful wooden rim steering wheel, the car presents excellently.

This Cobra was first registered in September 2018 and has been with its second owner for almost seven years. During that time, the car has covered a total of 16,200 miles and benefited from maintenance throughout, having most recently been serviced and MOT’d in April 2026.

For those who appreciate the romance of the Cobra but want to enjoy that experience from behind the wheel rather than behind museum glass, the DB427SC is a compelling proposition.
