There are Cobra evocations, and there are Les Hayden Cobra evocations. This superb right-hand drive example was factory-built to a custom specification in 2004, and UK-registered in 2005. Finished in Daytona Blue with black leather upholstery, it is powered by a 5.7-litre Chevrolet V8 paired with an automatic Super B&M quick-shift gearbox. The vendor says that “in essence, this is as near to a brand new Cobra evocation as possible, and is complete with fresh MOT, recent service and all supporting documentation”. They estimate that the costs involved in procuring such a high-grade example like this could exceed £30,000. Q367 BRB’ has an odometer that reads just 2,500 miles, and it is described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout. The V8 engine benefits from a full overhaul and it has had just three owners, with the vendor being described as ‘fastidious’.
Les Hayden’s Shamrock Cobra, based in Cape Town, has been crafting Cobra replicas since 1984, and has built a peerless reputation over the years. Indeed, the company has even obtained certified status from the South African Department of Transport. Hayden’s design was based around a super-rigid backbone chassis and incorporated clever anti-dive and anti-squat characteristics to its suspension, ensuring his Cobras are among the finest in the world to drive.
