It looks like a nice car.

I suspect the claim is meant to read that the car was built by Dave Brookes, who is the main pro builder of Dax cars in the UK.

It is a Dax modern style cobra replica, not an AC Cobra! Thats as annoying as all those other adds seen in print and on You-tube claiming cars are '196X Shelby Cobras' and then finally admitting its a replica in the small print, or nit at all.

Im unaware of any Dax (or more correctly DJ Sportscars) tie up with Shelby, but i will mirror this across on the UK Cobra Replica site, and maybe I'll be corrected.

Is that a catalytic converter where the pipes come out of the body?

Seats? What seats. The most surprising thing about that auction is that 2 people have thought it a good idea to bid on a car that is clearly being misrepresented (and a car that may or may not have actual seats)

Theres an unfinished Robnell on Ebay as well for 30k.
