Description
A serious Cobra for serious drivers. This Gardner Douglas GD427 blends old-school muscle with modern engineering offering incredible handling, race-ready pedigree, and that unmistakable V8 soundtrack.
Powered by a 6.3L 383ci Chevrolet Stroker V8 (built by Repower) mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual, it delivers ferocious performance and bags of character. Backed by GD's rigid backbone chassis and lightweight GRP semi-monocoque body, this isn't just a showpiece it's a properly sorted driver's car.
Only 14,000 miles from new, with tasteful upgrades and a striking finish in Old English White over light tan and blue leather. It looks, sounds, and drives superbly.
Removable hard top fitted by Gardner Douglas, with grey fabric lining. The car also has a fabric hood and tonneau cover, plus Perspex side screens.
