Founded in the 1990’s, Gardner Douglas has built a reputation for producing some of the most capable and well-balanced Cobra recreations in the world. The GD 427 is no exception. Featuring a stiff, lightweight chassis and fully independent suspension all round, it brings exceptional handling and driver confidence, whether on the road or track. This groundbreaking design not only allows for lower wheel frequencies and more compliant suspension but also enhances balance with a centrally located mass and a lower centre of gravity, resulting in impeccable poise and balance through corners. Powered by a thunderous 6.2-litre GM LS3 V8, mated to a precise Tremec Magnum 6-speed manual gearbox, the GD 427 develops an astonishing 480 bhp - enough to send it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Complemented by a tuned fuel map, ceramic-coated side pipes and lightweight stainless-steel manifolds, the car delivers both brutal pace and a symphonic V8 soundtrack. The advanced cooling setup ensures consistent performance in all conditions. Inside, the cabin balances purposeful simplicity with high-quality materials, and a detachable Moto-Lita steering wheel. A tailored soft-top and tonneau provide all-weather usability. The Halibrand-style wheels are wrapped in high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, completing the period-correct but track-capable setup. Delivered new in July 2019 and driven just 750 miles since, this Gardner Douglas has been fastidiously maintained and offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a bespoke British sports car with breathtaking looks and modern-day reliability. Complete with both ignition keys, a valuable cherished “COB” number plate is also included. Now available for viewing at our London showrooms.
