Much of the labor in these cars takes place in Poland, and the Zloty has collapsed v the dollar over the past 2-3 years, going from 2 to over 3 to one.

that would give them a fair bit of room to cut prices if demand softened and they wanted to keep volumes high.

!

I could not disagree more. Sure they get the bodies and frames from Poland and labor is cheaper...but,materials ( metals) have sky-rocketed over the last few years and they still have to ship them here.

Once here there is a ton of work needed to finish them and finish them to the highest standards that the Kirkhams demand. Then there is the ongoing product & performance development, working with customers during the build, working with customers long after the build and so on...There is a term that is common at the KMP factory " black hole of time" and that's because they virtually never leave..working day & night 6 days a week.

Just my $.02
